Athol Granite Works was originally founded by Enoch T. Lewis in 1853 and continuously operated since that date.  The current owner, Richard D. Verock, apprenticed since 1972 and purchased the business in 1978.  In 1989, Mr. Verock acquired Dorsey Memorials of Amherst, MA as a branch location of Athol Granite Works Inc.  The operation of these businesses continues on their original sites.  All design and carving is still done on the premises.
