Proctor has a rich marble history. Vermont Marble Company virtually built the town of Proctor, and at its peak the company employed several thousand people in the Proctor area. As early as 1785 local marble was being used to make headstones. Today the history of the town is still evident. The Proctor Jr. Sr. High School's mascot, the Phantom, was named after the white marble school and its resemblance to this ghostly creature. One can't miss the marble decorating the town’s buildings, bridge, and sidewalks.

We would like to thank Keith Gallagher for help with construction details and Ms. Wolgamott's Art 1 class for sculpting the birds.
