50 Years of Quarry Hopping, Falls of the Ohio State Park

Alan Goldstein, Interpretive Naturalist & Park Paleontologist, visited his first quarry in 1969 at age 10.

He will also answer these questions: What makes quarries so difficult to access today? Why are they the best windows to understand geology? Regular admission applies.
