Fantastic Caverns. Springfield, Missouri. July 23, 1988. SCAN8556

Great time in the Ozarks. A souvenir photo taken July, 23, 1988. My wife and I with our two oldest daughters.

Missouri has had the title of being The Cave State for many years. With over 7,000 caves documented in the state’s karst topography, tourists and locals can explore Missouri’s most beautiful and extensive underground caverns.

One of Missouri’s most well-known caves is Fantastic Caverns. As the only ride-through cave in North America, riders can sit back and relax in the big red trams while the cave guides stop throughout the cave and explain how each of its formations came to be. The discovery of the cave dates back to 1862 when a farmer’s dog found its way to the entrance. Afterward, a group of 12 women first explored the cave.

From being an underground speakeasy in the 1920s during Prohibition, to a venue for country music shows in the cave’s constant 60-degrees climate, it provides the perfect acoustics for musicians and singers.
