One of the most confusing aspects of the quarry’s history is its name. Although there was never any question that the quarry was located in Yorktown, throughout much of its history the Mohegan Quarry was often identified as the “Peekskill Quarry” and its granite sometimes referred to as “Peekskill Golden Granite.” References to the quarry being in the Town of Yorktown were few and far between. As recently as 2014, in a Master’s thesis about buildings that utilized granite from the quarry, the quarry was referred to as a Peekskill quarry — even though when the author needed permission to visit the abandoned quarry, she contacted the Town of Yorktown.
