About Ionia Sandstone Quarry
About one mile east of Quarry Road along the old rail bed, in heavily wooded terrain, lies the Ionia Variegated Sandstone Quarry. The sandstone, once used widely as a building material, has most recently been harvested for landscaping material. However, the quarry has been closed for many years. With reflections from the crystal clear springs dancing on the sandstone, this is one of the most beautiful sights to behold in Ionia County.
