A relic, the Stone Crusher located off Christopher Clark Road pulverized basalt rock that erosion flaked off the mountain’s near vertical west face. Power for the crusher’s driving wheels came from belts connected to a raised truck’s drive wheels. The back-breaking job was shoveling the loose basalt from those nearby steep slopes onto conveyers leading to the crusher’s hopper. Basalt is a construction aggregate. Better sources ended the operation. For a shocking image of mining Mount Tom, hike into the quarry. See Quarry page.
