The Blue Soapstone Quarry is located off Jenkins Road in Harold Parker State Forest. The land originally owned by William Jenkins who entered into a contract to quarry the stone with Addison Flint and Michael Flannery, a stone cutter in 1934.
The stone was used for buildings on Summer Street in Boston, monuments in the Mount Auburn Cemetery, and in the West Parish Cemetery.
The treasurer of the company absconded and the project was terminated, leaving large boulders at the site.
