Cradle Rock Chapter No. 125
Instituted April 7, 1909
Constituted October 27, 1909
In the northwest part of Barre, there existed a natural phenomenon consisting of two boulders so placed by glacial action, one on top of the other, that the upper one would rock like a cradle at the touch of a hand. It became know through the years as the Rocking Stone or Cradle Rock. Regrettable, some years ago some thoughtless person was determined to move the upper rock from the pedestal. he succeeded in moving its position, just enough, so that t no longer rocks. the Chapter was appropriately named for the locally famous rock.
