About: Aberdeen Quarry

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Aberdeen Quarry is an abandoned granite quarry in Gunnison County, Colorado. It is located along South Beaver Creek, 7 mi (11 km) south-southwest of Gunnison. The Aberdeen Quarry was most active from 1889 to 1892 as it supplied granite for the construction of the Colorado State Capitol Building. During this three-year period, the small town of Aberdeen supported the work at the quarry. Afterward, smaller amounts of granite were sporadically quarried for at least three decades. The abandoned quarry and associated town site are now owned by a local historical society, and the quarry is a Gunnison County Historic Landmark.
