Description

Hancock was built upon, and still today relies on, its many natural resources, such as timber, bluestone and its mountains and rivers. Some of the finest hardwood timber grows and is harvested here, is shipped all over the world, and is used to make everything from furniture to baseball bats. But perhaps the most significant identifying feature of Hancock is its world-famous Bluestone quarries. Bluestone mining is an industry that has existed here for generations and continues to flourish as modern technology is utilized in the production and distribution of this "blue gold."
