HoweCaverns was dicovered back in the spring of 1842 by a man
named LestorHowe. Now Lestor Howe discovered the cavern by noticing
on hot summer daysall of his cows would gather up on the same hillside,
in the same spot. Hewas very curious why they were doing this, so he
went up there to investegate.When he reach the spot on the hillside he
noticed a large hole in the ground, were cold air was blowing out of. The
cows would gather around thehole to cool off. He started to explore this
hole as soon as he got a light and a rope to climb down into the cavern.
This is when Howe Cavernswas dicovered. Several years after Lester
Howe discovered the cavern he sarted up a little buisness giving tour of
the cavern. His tours would last 8 hoursand you were giving lunch as part
of the tour. These tours ended in 1900when a cement co. bought the
land of cavern for its rich grade of limestone for making cement. The
cavern didn"t reopen to the public untill 1932, when walkways and lighting
systems were put in.
