Redstone Quarry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Burlington South End started out as being a housing place for the blue collar workers that live in the city of Burlington. The Redstone Quarry began when the people of Burlington wanted to create a new church. In order to build the new church they needed rock, which they pulled out of what was then called Willard’s Ledge but is now referred to as the Redstone Quarry. The people that did not have very much money would live on the low side of the Quarry, but if you got rich you would move up above the Quarry. Andrew Addison Buell was one of the lucky ones and took Monkton Quartzite out of Willard’s Ledge in order to build his new estate. This estate was eventually given to the University of Vermont and is now known as Redstone Campus. In 1958, University of Vermont purchased the Redstone Quarry and to this day use it mainly for Geology classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
