The 2010 Sandstone Festival was dedicated to the Sandstone of Potsdam, New York. The festival included tours, presentations, and demonstrations focused on the Potsdam Sandstone.

Sandstone Cutting Demonstration:

Heritage Stonemason, John Bridges, demonstrated how to cut sandstone blocks into more workable pieces. He did this in very similar way as past stonemasons would have done in Potsdam during the 19th century.
