History
Established in 1948
What started out as a summer vacation turned into a lifelong adventure and is now a family business. The Thomas family lived on a farm in Idaho and spent their summers gathering stone to use for winter projects. In the winter months Walt Thomas would work as a mason installing fireplaces for extra money. Eventually they would lose the family farm and move to the city. Lon was only 14 years old but had worked on the farm and expected to do the same in town. He would soon discover that others thought he was too little, too small or just too young to get a job! He was determined to show them they were wrong, after all he'd been driving farm equipment since he was 8 years old. So Lon and his brother Evan set off to quarry stone. This would be Lon's life long adventure and the beginning of American Stone. Today American Stone has 4 retail store locations and 25 quarries.
