Horse Cave Mural - Kentucky
Description
Horse Cave is a small town located in the heart of Kentucky’s karst country, also home to Mammoth Cave. The city derives its name from a large cave system that can be found literally on Main Street in the center of town. Known now as Hidden River Cave, cave has been at times the city’s water supply, source of electricity and a dumping ground for waste. Tours were offered from 1912-1943, until the increasing pollution and World War II led to a halt in tourism. And it wasn’t for another 50 years that interest in the cave returned, and the American Cave Conservation Association (ACCA) took on the task of rehabilitating the cave, In 1992 the first phase of the current museum and cave tours was developed. And today thousands of visitors come to the cave to enjoy the interesting geology of the karst regions of Kentucky. The cave boasts the longest underground suspension bridge in a cave system.
