Grand Caverns

Grand Caverns

Grand Caverns is a stately and powerful example of Nature's handiwork. Gigantic stalactites point down from above. Equally imposing stalagmites thrust upward from the caverns floor. Cathedral Hall, 280 feet long and over 70 feet high, is one of the largest rooms of any cavern in the East. Massive columns, beautiful draperies rippling flowstone, and rare "shield" formations create a variety of fascinating sights. The famous Bridal Veil, Stonewall Jackson's Horse, and a peek at Dante's Inferno provide memories too good to miss. Visitors can also see stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and other remarkable formations in profusion. Visited by both Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War, they left over 230 verified signatures in the cave.
