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. Peek into the windows of this artist’s home as you wander the grounds, or sign up for a Hilltop House Happening during the summer months to experience the home’s unique interior.
Activities for Every Season
No matter the time of year you are visiting, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park has something extraordinary in store.
Summer Scenes
Wander along over four miles of trails, each path unveiling artworks hidden in the landscape. As you explore, take a self-guided audio tour to learn the stories behind the sculptures. Or pack a picnic and soak up the beauty of the meadows while enjoying the park's tranquil vibe.
Fall Foliage & Winter Magic
When the leaves turn color, the scenery becomes even more breathtaking. And in the winter months, the park transforms into a snowy paradise for those interested in snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. It’s a perfect way to mix outdoor fun with artistic inspiration.
Year-Round Artistry
The visiting artist program brings creative energy to the park throughout the year. 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.
Plan Your Visit
The Art Park welcomes everyone—from solo wanderers to families, and even your furry friends. With plenty of space, pay-what-you-wish admission, and dog-friendly trails (leashes required), the park encourages all visitors to feel right at home.
Stone Quarry also offers tailored experiences for school field trips, community groups, and business retreats. Guided tours, available by appointment, provide in-depth insights into the park and its architecture.
It's not just a destination; it’s an experience. Here, nature’s beauty and human creativity come together in perfect harmony. Head out on an adventure to Cazenovia, discover sculptures tucked among the trees, and reconnect with the wonder of the outdoors.
