During a hot, summer day in Danby, Vermont, a surveyor en route from New York took respite in the confines of Mr. Abraham Chase’s tavern, situated one mile south of Danby 4 Corners. His decision to do so would ultimately be one he was soon to regret. Having had his fill of refreshments, he made his way to the exit with the intention of continuing on his mission to survey the town and its neighbors.

The back road off route 7 winds up the mountain just south of the village of Danby. A small sign that could easily be missed points the way to the destination.
The road passes by a few isolated homes that at one time may have been “company homes.” A little bit farther a turn-off area is covered with crushed marble indicating to the visitor that he is near the end of his journey.

Start with the statistics: The Danby Quarry covers 19 acres, all of it underground; it has been in operation since 1903, at one time employed close to 300 workers, ships out 200,000 cubic feet (36 million pounds) of marble a year; has a constant temperature range of 47 to 51 degrees, regardless of the outside weather, and a humidity level of 97 percent. The airshaft into the quarry is 468 feet long, seven feet wide and ten feet across. It was made by blasting from the bottom up.
