A Landscape Filled with Art
Step into a world where sculptures and the natural environment intertwine. Stone Quarry Art Park is home to an astonishing array of artworks, all seamlessly integrated into its scenic surroundings. From the moment you arrive, highlights like the whimsical moving Vraag sculpture and the tucked-away Secret Garden create a sense of mystery and excitement.
And don’t miss the Hilltop House! This mid-century modern gem, designed by the park’s visionary founder Dorothy Riester, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Activities for Every Season
No matter the time of year you are visiting, Stone Quarry Art Park has something extraordinary in store.
Summer Scenes
Wander along over four miles of trails, each path unveiling artworks hidden in the landscape. Pack a picnic and soak up the beauty of the meadows while enjoying the park's tranquil vibe.

Year-Round Artistry
The visiting artist program brings a unique creative energy to the park. You'll often spot artists at work, shaping new and innovative pieces, and if you attend a public event or “happening,” you’ll have the opportunity to meet a visiting artist and learn more about their work.
