Books: by Title: Cobblestone Quest
Historic Secrets Revealed
Learn why, during a mere 35-year span in the middle of the 19th century, approximately 700 cobblestone structures were erected within a 65-mile radius of Rochester, New York, and no where else. Many have endured the test of time and stand today as monuments to human ingenuity in using available resources. Learn about this creative building technique and about the lives of the early pioneers who developed it.
Go See For Yourself
On the tours you'll view a diversity of cobblestone buildings, including homes, farmhouses, barns, stagecoach taverns, smokehouses, stores, churches, schools, factories, and more. Each cobblestone building is a unique work of folk art, created by local craftsmen.
Rich & Sue Freeman have organized the book into 17 tours, suitable for a car, motorcycle or bicycle ride. Each tour includes information about the architecture and history of each building, as well as whether it is private property -- or open to tours, in some cases.
