Bethel

Few towns in Vermont have a history as closely tied to granite quarrying as Bethel. Set beside the White River, which flows to the Connecticut River, the community sits among the foothills of the Green Mountains. Bethel became known for Bethel White granite, a pale stone quarried locally and used in major American buildings, including Union Station in Washington, D.C. Quarrying shaped local employment and gave the town a distinct role in Vermont’s industrial past. Its compact village centre and surrounding river valleys reflect the rural character of central Vermont.
