This welcoming sign is located on Rte 149 East on the southwest side of the town of Granville, New York. There were numerous rare colored slate quarries in the town in the 1800's and the town became identified with that. Red slate, which was used in Harvard's Memorial Hall, was the result of erosion of the iron rich soil to oxygen. Granville is situated along what is known as the slate valley between the New York State and Vermont state border.
