Indiana Limestone Symposium

The Indiana Limestone Symposium has taken place at the Bybee Stone Company in Ellettsville Indiana for over 20 years. Open to any interested amateur or professional, the Indiana Limestone symposium is held in weeklong sessions every year in June at Bybee Stone Company. https://limestonesymposium.org The Indiana Limestone Symposium exemplifies the traditional craftsmanship and art that is indigenous to the limestone-rich hills of south central Indiana. The first recorded use of cut Indiana Limestone was for the foundation of the Monroe County Courthouse in 1826. Richard Gilbert opened the first limestone quarry in Indiana near Stineville in1827. By 1870 there were 16 quarries operating in the area including the Mathews Brothers Stone Company quarry, the current the Bybee Stone Company. Dimensional stone from the area quarries has been used in some of the most remarkable structures in the country, including the Empire State Building, the Pentagon, Washington National Cathedral, and Yankee Stadium. Indiana Limestone can be found on college campuses across the country and in 35 of the 50 State Capitals. These building are often ornamented with carvings done in Indiana Limestone by the artists of the stone industry, the stone carvers.
