monument, interesting place

Mining Town for the Yule Marble quarry. Best quality marble in North America. At one time population has been said to be as high as 15,000 and quarry mill may have been largest building on earth for a time. Many marble remnants line streets, and yearly sculpture and marble arts festivals celebrate history and artistic works. Hike through remnants of marble mill is reminiscent of Roman/Greek ruins. www.marbletourismassociation.org/
An Italian company now operates the underground quarry. It has been featured on the TV show "Dirty Jobs".
