Quarry Quest - The History of Stearns County Quarry Park and Nature Preserve

Quarry Quest is a look at the history of Stearns County Quarry Park and Nature Preserve from the perspective of one of the Stearns County commissioners that made the park possible. The book is filled with photos of the park, historic documents and articles from the St. Cloud Times. The book is intended to be a coffee table publication which one can enjoy simply looking at the many photos, but will contain enough historic narrative to attract the more serious reader. The newspaper articles included in the book will be large enough to read and will add a great deal to the publication.
