This Great Stone Dam Virtual Tour was led by Jim Beauchesne, Visitor Services Supervisor, Lawrence Heritage State Park, filmed and edited by Barbara Buls, and co-edited by Brett Power -- all from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation.
The video debuted during the Lawrence History Center's Annual Meeting on September 19, 2020, the 175th anniversary of the very first granite block being laid by the Essex Company in the creation of the Great Stone Dam. The date the very last granite block was laid? Exactly 3 years later on September 19, 1848.
