Description

Once a source of granite for early American architecture, the 22-acre reservation managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation now draws a mix of hikers, sightseers, and urban explorers. The quarry walls serve as an ever-changing canvas for graffiti artists, setting continuous layers of paint against the surrounding natural landscape. The open grounds remain rugged, marked by uneven terrain and unprotected drop-offs along the rock faces.
