Letter G

G is for Granite

There is lots and lots of granite in this state.Barre, the town I live in is also the "granite capital of the world"

One "tourist spot" I heard about when I first moved to Vermont was the Hope Cemetery. I thought it was a strange thing to go tour a cemetary but I finally ended up discovering it while out on a run one day and was amazed by the art gallery of tombstones, which are all cut from 100% local Barre granite. Here are a few examples.
