Human Use
Redstone Quarry was made as a result of a church congregation growing too large in 1800’s Burlington. The rock that was excavated from the cite was used to make the College Street Congregational Church in 1863. The stone was then also used to create an estate in the quarry (Then known as Willard’s ledge). The estate was passed by the Buell family into the Universities ownership and has become the Redstone Campus. The quarry itself has been used in recent years as an educational space for students at UVM.
