Newton County Stone |
| ||||||||
Newton County quarry is belived to be the only meteorite impact site in the United States that is also a commercial mining operation. The quarry has many visitors, from all over the world, who are interested in geological history and in studying the various types and layers of stone.
The quarry contains the oldest exposed stone in Indiana, dating from the Ordovician age of the Earth's history.
The quarry was begun by three different land owners on various sections. John McKee opened a quarry on the East side around 1881. Samuel Means opened a quarry soon after on the West side. A third quarry was opened by Vanetta and Evans around the year 1900. The Vanetta and Evans quarry changed ownership to USF&G, then former Governer of Indiana Warren T. McCray (1928), then George Hart.
Ralph Rogers bought the former Vanetta and Evans quarry in 1946 and named it Newton County Stone. Newton County Stone eventually expanded to include both the McKee and Means properties.

| Estimating Stone Requirements |
Our material is sold by weight measured with state approved Indiana Department of Transportation certified scales. Material should be estimated according to compaction requirements for job. Please work with quarry office personnel or salespeople to determine your specific compaction and tonnage requirements. Due to variances in grade (depth), potential penetration into soft subgrade, and waste created if material is moved around your project, Rogers Group will not assume responsibility for volume estimates.  Download an Excel spreadsheet useful for estimating driveway stone requirements or use the online
Aggregate Estimator.
