Marble, Colorado is the home of the Yule Marble Quarry.   Marble from this quarry was used to construct the Lincoln Memorial in 1914.   Also in Washington DC marble from the Yule Marble Quarry was used for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in 1930.

The Crystal River area provides many outdoor activities during the entire year. The river runs clear and the scenery is unsurpassed.
