For more than 50 years, Frank's Marble & Granite, LLC, has embodied the Makers Spirit by turning slabs of stone into spaces built to last. Since 1972, their family-owned and operated business has been serving York and the surrounding area with expert craftsmanship in natural stone surfaces—proving that true makers don’t just build countertops, they shape the heart of a home. 

Mark your calendars for June 19-20 for our Makers Spirit Event. Explore the craftsmanship and creativity that define York County. From local flavors to artisan-crafted treasures, discover the diverse talents and unique offerings that make our area a true haven for makers and enthusiasts alike.

On Wednesday and Sunday evenings, June through August, music fills the air at the Springettsbury Township Park Amphitheater.
