History

Mohawk Valley Monuments, LLC was founded in 1929 by Joseph Mancini, an experienced stone cutter who immigrated to the U.S. from Italy. He later had two sons, Peter and Richard, who continued the family business. Peter had two boys of his own named Joe and Rich, who operated the firm after Peter passed away in 1991. In 2014, it was sold to Benjamin Morgan (a cousin of Joe and Rich), and Ben and Nicole Morgan have been operating the company under Mohawk Valley Monuments, LLC ever since.
