Building and sculpting stone [ edit ]
The granite is mined at the E. L. Smith Quarry, the world's largest "deep hole" granite quarry , owned by the Rock of Ages Corporation . All of the stones in the Hope Cemetery in neighboring city of Barre are made with Barre granite.[3]
Many sculpture artists prefer it for outdoor sculpture.[4] Frank Gaylord used it for the United States Korean War Memorial at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery , Busan, South Korea .[5] [6] [7]
