Throughout the late 1800s about four miles east-southeast of West Liberty on an old hill known to locals as Mount Tabor, a farmer had used a specific low spot on his property to keep his livestock watered and cool throughout the hot summer days. This spot held quite a bit of water, and gradually kept growing outwards, deeper, and was said to be holding “hundreds of barrels worth of water”. Something changed one night, and by the morning of August 17, 1897, all of that water had disappeared. The farmer and farmhands grew very curious. It was too quick for evaporation, even by August’s standards, and unlikely that it all just soaked into their long-standing holding spot in the ground. It was decided that it had to have sunk into the ground, likely through the lowest point, and a seventeen-year-old farm hand began to dig. He dug down a few feet and struck limestone, found a crack, and lowered himself down in. Just like that, he became the first living thing inside what would become Ohio Caverns.

Happy Discovery Anniversary, Ohio Caverns!
