Help us celebrate the yearlong series of granite-related articles in The Westerly Sun. Heft some actual granite tools, record your granite story, share your granite photos, watch a stone-cutting demonstration, add to our biographical data of granite workers, discover the granite on the grounds, and help eat a cake that mimics the Westerly Town Hall which is made of Westerly granite. We especially welcome the families of folks involved in the granite business. Free tours of the Museum and a ten percent discount at Joshua's Store for members.
