The Stone Valley Scenic Byway features a rich background in slate and marble production, as well as incredible scenic, recreational, and cultural amenities. This segment of Vermont Route 30, spanning from Manchester to Poultney, is highlighted by mountain slopes that provide a dramatic backdrop to the rural landscape and provide access to a host of recreational opportunities.

Located in west-central Vermont, the verdant Stone Valley derives its name from some of America’s most noted marble and slate quarries and mills. Stone created millions of years ago influenced how the region grew and continues to prosper today. The valley and its people also played important roles in the making of the American nation.
