Limestone

Indiana designated limestone as the official state stone in 1971. Bedford, Indiana is known as the “Limestone Capital of the World.” Limestone quarried and carved in Bedford is featured on famous buildings across America, including the Pentagon and the Empire State Building. Indiana's State House in Indianapolis is also built with southern Indiana Limestone.
