Mammoth Cave’s Historic Tour has been vastly remodeled in a two year $5.8 million-dollar project. New walking pavers, concrete steps, handrails and lint guards have been added for safety while preserving the beauty and integrity of the cave.

As visitors near the entrance of Mammoth Cave’s Historic Tour, they are greeted by nature’s own air-conditioning, a real treat on a hot summer day. This Historic tour is a two-mile, two-hour adventure filled with beauty and history. Visitors will see preserved mines that were used during the war of 1812 and signatures dating back to the 1850s, some of which are from musicians who once played in the cave. While touring the cave, guests will use original steps from the 1930s along with newly poured concrete ones. Fat Man’s Misery and The Bottomless Pit are two amazing sites to be seen and discovered.
