Wyandotte Caves, Limestone cave system in Crawford County, Indiana
The Wyandotte Caves contain 9.2 miles of passages across five distinct levels, including numerous chambers filled with mineral formations and underground streams.
Native Americans mined aragonite and chert from these caves for nearly 4000 years before European settlers discovered them in 1798.
The cave system received its name from Governor David Wallace after the nearby river, marking a shift from its earlier designation as Indiana Saltpetre Cave.
Visitors can choose between two tours: a 30-minute exploration of Little Wyandotte or a 2-hour journey through Big Wyandotte at temperatures of 52 degrees Fahrenheit.
Monument Mountain stands 135 feet tall within the cave system, while the Pillar of the Constitution ranks as the highest recorded stalagmite formation.
