In the early 1900s grandfather Auguste Chatot came with his brother Emile to Barre where they worked in several sheds before starting the Chatot Brother's Granite Company, which did not survive the war years. Like so many others during that time, grandfather Auguste became a victim of silicosis, leaving his three sons, Jules, Emile, and Paul to carry on the family legacy.

It is this legacy coupled with a loyal and highly-skilled crew that has given North Barre Granite it's continued success.
