All tours are guided in this historic cave. This cave was discovered in 1704, was explored by Thomas Jefferson and was used during the wars of 1812 and the Civil war as a source of salt petre to make gun powder. This is one of the longest caves in the United States with about 40 miles of mapped passageways.

Guided tours take visitors through cathedral-like passages, past calcite formations, and through a preserved saltpeter excavation. Good walking shoes and a jacket are all that are required. Cave temperature remains 55 degrees year round.
