Squire Boone Caverns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Squire Boone Caverns and Village is a cavern exploration attraction in Mauckport, Indiana (near Corydon in Southern Indiana). The park consists of a one-hour walking tour into the caverns, as well as a working pioneer village and grist mill.

The cave was first discovered by Daniel Boone and his brother, Squire Boone, as they were hiding from Indians. Squire would come back later to live and start a mill.

The caverns are open year round, while the village and grist mill are open only during the summer months.

The tour of the cave is conducted by experienced guides on lighted walkways with minimal stairs.
