Oldcastle Industrial Minerials quarry is located at 550 S. Biesecker Road, in Jackson Township, York County, Pennsylvania.
This quarry was started about 1900 when the land was owned by the Miller Family. The Miller Family knowing that limestone was beneath their property started a small quarry of their own.
The Miller quarry property was in later years purchased by Thomasville Stone and Lime Company who operated the quarry for many years. The quarry was bought and sold several more times until it was purchased by its present owner Oldcastle Industrial Minerials.
Visiting the facility on its second year open-house event to the public it was noted that this quarry has about 55 miles of underground mine tunnels. Oldcastle Industrial Minerials owns around 250 other facilities around the world and has about 30,000 employees worldwide.
