Granite Series Has Begun Our series of 52 full-page articles on the granite industry in Westerly is now appearing weekly in The Westerly Sun. The Babcock-Smith House is responsible for content. United Builders Supply, which is presently selling granite, is paying for the space and The Westerly Sun will contribute layout and design expertise. Recurring features include a list of people associated with the granite industry, a "Do you know where this is?" photo, stone cutters' cottages, stone chips, and a feedback space. The goal for the BSH Museum is to educate readers about the town's heritage, to collect more information and artifacts for our research library and collection, and to encourage membership in the Museum. Anyone who wants to help with research and/or writing should contact Betty-Jo Cugini, John Coduri, Linda Smith Chaffee, Susan Brocato or Ellen Madison.
