Quincy Quarries Reservation is the site of one of the first railroads in the United States. The area produced granite for over a century beginning in 1825. Now the reservation is a very popular rock climbing location. Picnicking and hiking are also common here. Scenic viewing opportunities are available.
Route 93 (Southwest Expressway) to Furnace Brook Parkway (Exit 8) follow signs to Willard Street and cross under Route 93. Take the first right onto Ricciuti Drive at Men's Wearhouse and Tux. Quarries are 1/4 mile on the right.
