Birdseye Marble Quarry
Heartbeat of the Canyon
Looking east to the red ledges you can
see the quarry, originally operated by the
Mormon Church and others from the 1880's
to the 1940's as the Nebo Rock Works,
Thistle Rock Works and Birdseye Marble
Quarry.
The stone polishes to a high degree and
is prized by jewelers and builders. Stone
from the quarry is in the Utah State Capitol,
the Mormon Chapel in Washington, D. C.,
the Lincoln Memorial, and other state and
federal buildings.
