Swan's Island 3-5 grade class on an old quarry boiler
Swan's Island Historical Society
Kim Colbeth's 3-5 grade class visited Baird's Quarry in the fall of 2011 as part of the Swan's Island studies unit. They searched for signs of the once-busy industry, from iron spikes left in the granite to boilers that generated the steam power for the quarry tools. The kids even got to get their hands dirty as they excavated for artifacts near where the blacksmith was once located!
