Tuckaleechee Caverns
Carved over tens of
thousands of years in
one of the earth's
oldest mountain chains,
Tuckaleechee Caverns
at Townsend, Tenn., are
known as the "Greatest
Site Under
the Smokies".
Estimated to be between
20 and 30 million years
old, the Caverns are
rich in history and lore
in recent years as well. The caverns were opened to the
public for a year in 1931 and then
closed because of the Depression. As young boys, W.E. “Bill” Vananda
and Harry Myers of Townsend played
near the entrance to the caverns and
frequently ventured into them. While
students at Maryville College in
1949, they got to talking about the
feasibility of opening the cave to
the public.
When Associated Press Pulitzer Prize
Winning columnist Hal Boyle
interviewed them about 1960, Myers
recalled “We played Tom Sawyer in
the main passage as kids. We
explored it for three-quarters of a
mile, sometimes wriggling on our
bellies, and lighting our way with
homemade lamps – pop bottles filled
with kerosene.” |
