  About The Barre Granite Industry
Barre was the first to install permanent derricks, the first to utilize the steam drill, the first to use the electric battery in blasting and the first to introduce many innovations which revolutionized quarrying and production of granite in many lands.
Barre in turn, in 1890, established a railroad called the "Sky Route," with a grade of 250 feet per mile from the Barre Terminus to the quarries on the "Hill." This all-rail route from the quarries had a tremendous economical and psychological effect upon the community.
Barre was in the vanguard of those who adopted other innovations to safeguard the health and increase the efficiency of the worker.

BARRE, Vt. --Almost two dozen people were arrested Tuesday after a three-month drug investigation that was sparked in part by a brutal drug murder involving three young teenagers and open drug sales on city streets, officials said.

"Barre is a city now that local residents and (people from) other towns that choose to use drugs can come to Barre and pick up a fair amount," L'Esperance said.
