MIA+BSI 2016 Study Tour: Autumn in Vermont

OBERLIN, Ohio / CHESTERTOWN, N.Y. – It’s back to the Green Mountain State for this fall’s MIA+BSI study tour.

In conjunction with the newly-formed New England chapter, the Natural Stone Institute will take a busman’s holiday in Vermont on Sept. 18-20.

The event will include quarry tours (Rock of Ages, Vermont Quarries, Camara Slate, Vermont Verde Antique), stops at member companies (Trow & Holden Co., Buttura & Gherardi Granite Artisans) and trips to the Vermont Granite Museum and the historic Hope Cemetery.

Attendees will also have time to explore the state’s capitol city of Montpelier and enjoy Vermont’s famous fall foliage.

Vermont has long been known for its rich stone heritage. The abundant manufacturing plants, artist studios, cemeteries, tool shops, museum, and quarries both active and historic offer much to the stone enthusiast. MIA+BSI members, especially those involved in the New England chapter, will enjoy the benefits and convenience of networking with fellow members while immersed in various facets of the stone industry.
