The Ohio Caverns

We like to learn Ohio history, not by books, but by going places!! We've been to many sites in Ohio over the years, but this has been our most recent- The Ohio Caverns! It was well worth the price and travel time to get there, and the guides were great about answering everyones questions. Here are some of the pictures we took. Enjoy!!

The cave features stalactites, stalagmites, and columns. And these beautiful ribbon formations. This is a "wet cave" meaning water still drips from the surface so the cave is continually growing and changing.
It also includes some unique creations like this "soda straw" formation they call The Town Pump. Can you find it?BigJ and I studied about caves using an internet resource called Exploring Caves and many books from the library. The Ohio Caverns was a great end to our study.
