Shenandoah Caverns, Underground cave system in Quicksburg, Virginia
The Shenandoah Caverns extend for one mile through seventeen connected chambers, displaying formations of stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone throughout the passages.
Railroad workers discovered the caverns in 1884 during the construction of the Southern Railway, when they noticed cold air emerging from a ground opening.
The American Celebration on Parade exhibit at the caverns displays retired parade floats from national events, preserving pieces of American celebration history.
The caverns maintain a constant temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit and feature an elevator system that provides access to all areas of the underground complex.
The Diamond Cascade formation creates natural patterns on the cave walls, while the Rainbow Lake presents a water surface that mirrors the surrounding mineral deposits.
