Organ Cave (Visit this link)
Located in beautiful southeastern West Virginia (WV), Organ Cave is the second largest commercial cave in the eastern United States, and one of the oldest commercial caves in the country. A Natural National Landmark, and a National Historic Landmark, with over 45 miles of mapped passageways, Organ Cave is the 22nd largest cave in the world and there are still 200 known passageways that have yet to be explored. 2004 was a special year for us at Organ Cave, as it marked our 300-year anniversary. Colonial pioneers discovered the cave in 1704 and ever since, Organ Cave has played a significant role in American history, as well as providing a living laboratory for scientists in the fields of geology, archeology, biology and paleontology. We invite you to visit us at Organ Cave and discover the mysterious and amazing wonders of the world underground.
We offer walking tours of the cave year round led by a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Organ Cave is more than a collection of stalactites and stalagmites; it’s a living museum. Our tours will give you a chance to learn about the American Civil War, give you an understanding of cave ecology, and provide you with an in-depth introduction into how caves work and how we are working to preserve these natural wonders. For the more adventurous, we offer Extended Exploring Expeditions, your chance to go further into the depths of our cave and discover some of the most amazing sights on the planet. A heavy investment in gear is not necessary for you to experience some of the best caving in the world, as we include gear and experienced guides in our packages.
