The Limestone Capital of the World!! The Empire Quarry is dang near in my back yard. Bedford, Oolitic, Needmore, it’s all right there, and we are dang proud of it. You can find our limestone all over our country from the Lincoln Memorial, to Yankee Stadium, but our most famous building is by far the Empire State Building. | Clayton Anderson
