When Granite was King! Babson Farm Quarrying History Tour. Over one hundred years ago, the Rockport Granite Company quarried granite stone from Halibut’s bedrock. Learn about the buildings, bridges, and breakwaters built to last. Touch tools of the trade. Find out how they moved these large, heavy stone pieces, and how they “paved” dirt streets in our Nation’s growing cities and around the world! Visit the newly renovated visitor center for the tour’s grand finale!
