Travel Tuesday: Barre, Vermont
Quincy calls itself "Granite City" but Barre is the self-proclaimed "granite center of the world." Barre's population is one tenth of Quincy's but also enjoys great diversity. The light grey columns on the library facade are good examples of Barre granite. I will be sharing more stonework from Barre in weeks to come.
