Last week we visited the Vermont Marble Exhibit/Museum in Proctor which is maintained by Omya, the present owner of most of the active marble quarries in the state. After all these years living in Vermont we had never seen it. While off the beaten path (on route 3, just off route 7 in Pittsford, it boasts a resident sculptor and the largest collection of marble samples in the world. If you are in Vermont this is the place to visit for a day of education and exhibits of all kinds, including a large dinosaur fossil.
The gift shop is very nice and your can buy all sorts of marble products as gifts or for your home. Don't miss it.
The sculptor of this exquisite work in white marble is unknown.
