The Lost History of Potomac Marble

Loading Events

Join Paul Kreingold on June 21st at 7:00pm for a fascinating presentation on how local marble quarries provided the materials that built our capital buildings and monuments after the destruction of Washington by the British in 1814.  In the process of his research, Paul has re-discovered some of the two-hundred-year- old quarries and has polished samples from these local quarries for display.   

Mr. Paul Kreingold is the Conservation Director of the Loudoun County Chapter of the Izaak Walton League and a Virginia Master Naturalist, Banshee Reeks Chapter. Over the past three years he has lectured widely on this subject and led expeditions to the rediscovered quarries. Mr. Kreingold has lived in Leesburg, Virginia for thirty-six years.
