Two hundred feet below where you’re standing, is more than 6,000 acres of buried limestone.
It’s a virtual city underground that operates 24/7 bringing the limestone to the surface.
During this presentation, you’ll discover how limestone was formed; how Ste. Genevieve became a player in the limestone industry; how limestone is distributed throughout the nation; and just what limestone is used for—you wouldn’t be far off if you said just about everything!
The presentation, sponsored by Vern Bauman Contracting, is free to museum members. Otherwise, museum admission will apply.
