Left on Great Rd. past Butterfly Pond (L), is the junction with Dexter Rock Rd., at 0.4 m. At the junction, on a hillock, is a little private cemetery. Right from the junction, Dexter Rock Rd. leads uphill 0.5 m. through a rough but attractive countryside to the Dexter Ledge Limestone Quarry (open}. The pit of the quarry (R) is about 800 feet long, 300 feet wide, and 115 feet deep. The kilns now in use in this plant have been operating since 1902; they are usually wood-fired, and one firing takes seven days.
