Quincy Quarries Reservation
The Quincy Quarries in Quincy, Massachusetts, produced granite for over a century and were the site of the Granite Railway—often credited as being the first railroad in the United States.〔 A section of the former quarries is owned and operated by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation as a public recreation area.〔
==History==
In 1825, after an exhaustive search throughout New England, Solomon Willard selected the Quincy site as the source of stone for the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. After many delays and much obstruction, a charter was granted on March 4, 1826 for the construction of a railroad to help move the granite. The "Granite Railway" was designed and built by railway pioneer Gridley Bryant and began operations on October 7, 1826.〔 The granite from these quarries became famous throughout the nation, and stone cutting quickly became Quincy's principal economic activity.
