Stone City film uses local memory and quarry history
Clay Bauske and team finish the first documentary on Stone City's history. The 30 minute film uses interviews, archival papers, and quarry lore to chronicle the town from its 1860s boom to its 1920s decline and a 1930s art boom. Two copies go to the Iowa Historical Society film library for education groups.
