Leesburg Quarry (Historical Marker)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Leesburg Quarry is a historical site right off the Washington & Old Dominion Trail. This paved multi-use trail is about 45 miles and is a great way to ride around the area free of cars. There is a historical marker right off the trail in front of the old quarry. In the 1860s, the railroad's arrival spawned businesses like the Leesburg Lime Company, operating here since 1868. Using dynamite, quarriers extracted limestone, later burned in kilns. The company supplied farmers with fertilizer and builders with plaster. Its decline came when bluestone from the eastern county proved more durable for roads.
