Cumberland Caverns, Natural cave and music venue in McMinnville, Tennessee.

Cumberland Caverns extends across 32 miles of underground passages, featuring natural limestone formations throughout multiple connected chambers.

Surveyor Aaron Higgenbotham first discovered Cumberland Caverns in 1810 while conducting land assessments in the Tennessee wilderness.

The Volcano Room within Cumberland Caverns functions as an underground concert hall, presenting regular bluegrass performances in its natural acoustic setting.

Daily guided tours through Cumberland Caverns allow visitors to explore underground passages while learning about geological formations and cave history.

The caverns contain rare helictite formations and provide opportunities for overnight underground camping experiences in complete darkness.
