Indiana Cavern’s Celebrating 10th Anniversary on June 15th
We are celebrating our 10th Anniversary on Thursday, June 15th, with family-friendly activities for all ages. Indiana Caverns is located just south of Corydon, Indiana. It is part of the 7th longest cave system-the Binkley Cave System- in the US and the longest cave in Indiana.
A variety of activities will be taking place throughout the day. Come celebrate with us!
Special displays of cave discoveries since 2013 will be on display, along with a collection of Ice Age animal bones found in the cave when it was first discovered in 2010. According to the Indiana State Museum, “these bones represent a significant repository of Ice Age bones in the Midwest” and include bison and peccary as well as birds, reptiles, and smaller mammals. Peggy Fisherkeller of the Indiana Museum will share discoveries made on paleontological digs in 2014 and 2018 from noon to 3:15, with a free public talk at 2 pm.
Join Us For a Fun Filled Day!
Members of the original discovery team in 2010 will be on hand and share stories from the breakthrough expedition in Binkley Cave when the section that is toured was first discovered.
In addition, Gary Roberson will be signing copies of his most recent book, along with his three earlier books on the Binkley Cave System and Indiana Caverns development, from 12-1:30 pm. Gary has been exploring the Binkley Cave System since 1967. He has been involved in the show cave industry since 1971, when he was part of a three-person team that developed Squire Boone Caverns, which opened in 1973 and was an owner/manager of Marengo Cave for 28 years before developing Indiana Caverns in 380 days starting May 31st, 2012.
