Penn's Cave and Hotel, Historical hotel and cave complex in Gregg Township, United States.
Penn's Cave and Hotel combines a natural limestone cave with a three-story frame building on a limestone foundation. The hotel features a high mansard roof and seven bays across its front facade.
The site began as a hotel in 1885 and became company offices in 1919 for Penn's Cave Incorporated. This shift reflected changing business needs in the early 20th century.
The property shows how limestone caves and hotel buildings came together as tourism grew in 19th-century Pennsylvania.
The cave stays cool throughout the year, so bring appropriate clothing for your visit. A stream runs through the passage, and the pathways are generally easy to walk.
The cave passage extends underground with water flowing continuously through it year-round. This ongoing stream has carved and shaped the limestone formations over thousands of years.
