Parkesburg's Quarry Goes Online

The Brandywine Quarry on Route 10 has a new web page.

The quarry supplies builders, architects, landscapers and homeowners with natural stone and manufactured landscape materials for walls, patios, paths, and landscaping.

The quarry began in the late 1940's and was purchased by Lyn Hanaway in 1997.  Lyn runs the place with his wife Connie and daughter Jen.

Lyn, who reports business is really picking up, likes the fact he can get lost in the place and nobody can find him.
