“The Exhibit at Proctor, open to the public weekdays
and Sundays from May until October, displays
American and European marbles in various forms
and uses. A tour of the Exhibit includes over 60
large displays of full scale interior marble wainscot
installations, also marble tiled bathrooms, fireplaces,
garden furniture, altars, memorials of various types
and many smaller articles in marble for the home. A
motion picture ‘Calvalcade Of Marble’ is shown in a
smaller theater during the exhibit tour. Unique in
educational value, the Marble Exhibit is world
renowned for beauty and interest.
“The story of marble dates back many millions of
years. Great deposits of the shells of small sea
animals, subjected to enormous heat and pressure
through the ages, eventually formed crystalline
marble. Where these deposits are near the earth’s
surface and the marble is suitable for use, it is
removed by a process called quarrying.
“The Vermont Marble Company has quarries in
Vermont, Colorado and Alaska, besides importing
from Europe. As the photographs reveal, marble is
taken from the quarries – deeply hewn into the
earth’s surface – in large blocks, then cut, shaped and
polished for its various uses. Color and texture vary
according to the geological history of the deposit
from which it is taken.”
