Love, Life, And A Rock Quarry

An uncommon tale

Brooke Cagle

Rock Quarry, Michigan, is best known for the massive rock quarry at the edge of town. Most townfolk are satisfied that the town was named after the quarry. But Oldman Cardigan, the local historian — due to the fact that he is the oldest person in town — says Rock Quarry was named Rock Quarry long before there was a rock quarry. People don’t pay Oldman much heed.
