The Midwest is showing off the beauty of the underworld at this cave.  View the nearly 60 ft. tall waterfall, the intricate and beautiful work of nature with the stalactites, the calcite flowstone and some fossils that have been dated to over 400 MILLION years ago!

Maybe you are looking for that beautiful, yet unique spot to have your wedding, or renew your vows, well, the Wedding Chapel in the cave has had over 300 weddings performed there as well as many other events.

You will want to take a light jacket with you for your tour of the cave since it is a constant 48 degrees F year around, you will also want a comfortable pair of shoes for walking.

When you have completed the tour perhaps you and your kids will want to try your luck mining for real gemstones or genuine fossils in the bag of mining rough you can buy at the gift store.  There is a chart posted to help you identify what you have found.

    My family visited the cave during a family reunion that met in nearby Harmony. Although it was not a particularly spectacular cave, I was fascinated that such a place could exist beneath the nondescript farm fields. Except for the tourist-trap signs, one would have absolutely no clue that this vast network of tunnels existed beneath one’s feet! The enterprising family who owns the cave (at least the primary entrance to it) had the brilliant idea of building a wedding chapel down there. Not only did this create a destination–of sorts–where there is virtually no other for a hundred miles, it provides a natural setting for winter weddings, which is basically impossible anywhere else for a thousand miles! Unless, of course, you wished to have a wedding in the caves of the Black Hills of South Dakota–which I don’t think is allowed. It also is an excellent tornado shelter.
