Getting there
Dorset Marble Quarry is at 1848 VT-30 in Dorset, on the right side of the highway just before Kelly Road when driving north from Manchester. IMPORTANT: the owners now require EVERY visitor (including children) to complete an online registration and sign the liability waiver at dorsetquarry.com before arrival -- you will receive a QR code, and on-site staff will scan it and hand you an entry wristband at the gate. The quarry operates from Memorial Day through Columbus Day, 9:00 AM to dusk; check the Dorset Marble Quarry Facebook page for weather or event closures. From Manchester, head northwest on VT 30 about 6 miles; DO NOT park on VT 30 -- turn right onto Kelly Road (the dirt road immediately past the quarry) and park along the LEFT side of Kelly Road as directed by the parking attendants. From the Kelly Road shoulder it is a short, rocky walk back to the quarry rim. NO diving, NO alcohol or drugs, NO motorized vehicles on the property, and NO unaccompanied minors.
