Buckeye Quarry, South Amherst, Ohio |
Long abandoned, the Buckeye Quarry ledges are overgrown with brush and the quarry bottom filled with water. In the late 1890s, Buckeye Quarry measured 240 feet deep, 600 feet wide and 1,800 feet long. An early Cleveland Quarries brochure referenced "No place on earth provides a similar panorama to that presented by Buckeye Quarry which is visited by thousands of tourists every year. No other place more dramatically portrays man’s victory over Nature in more definite terms than this deep, canyon-like, man-made quarry reaching into the earth". This picture appears on the back cover of the "Sandstone Center of the World" book. Fall 2006 photo by James Hieb (posted 1/27/07). |
