The Granite Garden Gallery logo

Hidden among the woods of Sullivan, Maine, The Granite Garden Gallery is an outdoor art experience unlike any traditional gallery. Set within a historic granite quarry, this remarkable destination invites visitors to wander scenic trails, discover imaginative stone sculptures, and experience the beauty of Maine's natural landscape through art.


Art, Nature & Quarry Heritage


Granite Garden Gallery brings together stone sculpture, nature, and the history of granite quarrying in Sullivan, Maine.


Founded by stone artisan Obadiah Buell, the gallery features sculptures displayed throughout a historic quarry landscape surrounded by nature trails.


Visitors can explore the grounds, discover artwork in an outdoor setting, and experience a place where the region's stoneworking heritage remains part of the landscape.


The sculpture garden and trails are open daily from sunrise to sunset throughout the year. Consultations about stonework and sculpture are available by appointment.The gallery is the creation of sculptor Obadiah Buell, who grew up on the family quarry and developed a lifelong appreciation for stone and its possibilities. Through his business, Stone Designs, Obadiah transforms granite and other natural materials into distinctive sculptures, furnishings, and handcrafted pieces that celebrate the region's geological heritage.


As you explore the property, you'll encounter sculptures nestled among trees, rocks, and the remnants of the old quarry. The changing landscape makes each visit a little different, with art and nature sharing the spotlight.


The gallery's gift shop offers an opportunity to bring a piece of that creativity home. Visitors can discover handcrafted stone gifts, decorative pieces, and artwork, while those looking for something larger can explore sculptural and landscape designs for their homes and gardens.


The Granite Garden Gallery is also home to the nonprofit Granite Art Garden, which connects art, history, sustainability, and outdoor recreation through educational programs, community events, and opportunities to learn about the area's quarrying past.


Whether you're an art enthusiast, a history lover, or simply looking for an unusual place to explore, The Granite Garden Gallery offers a memorable combination of creativity, craftsmanship, and Downeast Maine scenery.
