About Opus 40 Sculpture Park

Opus 40 is a monumental environmental sculpture rising out of an abandoned bluestone quarry at the foot of Overlook Mountain in Saugerties, New York. It is all the work of one man: the sculptor Harvey Fite. Extending over more than six acres, with thousands of tons of exquisitely laid dry stone walling, Opus 40 is one of the most extraordinary attractions in the Hudson Valley. Opus 40 Inc, founded in 1978 after Harvey’s death by his wife, Barbara, now comprises Opus 40, Fite’s 6.5 acre sculpture, as well as 63 acres of meadows, forested quarry trails, and historic buildings like the Fite House, Fite’s home and original studio, and the Quarryman’s Museum, his homage to local quarrymen. Acknowledged among the very first Land art earthworks, Welcoming more than 35,000 visitors annually, Opus 40 has also been a rock in the music scene of the Woodstock area for nearly half a century.
