In Wilcox Park there is also a monument recognizing those who worked in the Westerly Granite Industry from 1846 to 1985. It was these workers who helped to shape the identity of the town of Westerly for over a hundred years.  This stone was originally a part of a cross that was never shipped.  Years later, in 1984, Bonner Monument Company used it for this memorial to granite workers.

The fountain in Dixon Square is a fairly new addition to the face of downtown. It is built from Stony Creek red granite which is similar to Westerly red granite in color.
