Ohio Caverns, Natural limestone cave system in West Liberty, United States.
The Ohio Caverns extend through multiple underground chambers filled with white calcium carbonate crystal formations reaching from floor to ceiling.
Farm workers discovered the cave network in 1897 when investigating a sinkhole, leading to the first guided tours beginning in the early 1900s.
Native American tribes of the region considered the caves sacred spaces and left artifacts that provide information about their connection to these geological formations.
Guided tours operate daily between 9 AM and 5 PM, with temperature remaining at 54 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year regardless of external weather.
The caverns contain dual formations of stalactites and stalagmites known as Crystal King and Palace, reaching over 200,000 years in geological age.
