In 1946 the business exclusively sold agricultural limestone. The business was purchased from the Harris family. The Harris family was operating the limestone quarry as far back as the 1650's, making our quarry one of the oldest in the country! The limestone in Lincoln, RI is as unique as the Conklin's. Limestone can vary in color from gray to white. The stone found here is some of the whitest stone in the country.
