Historic Cave Tour May 8, 2010

Entering the cave through the Historic Entrance, you will feel the excitement that intrigued the earliest explorers and visitors. Experience the history and the role that Mammoth Cave played during the War of 1812. Large passages invite you to imagine what it would have been like for prehistoric discoverers who walked these passages over 2,000 years ago. Descend into the lower levels of the cave and follow in the footsteps of the first explorers who crossed the Bottomless Pit and squeeze through Fat Man's Misery. Climb 138 stairs up Mammoth Dome and exit through the Historic Entrance.
