Exactly a month ago, on Saturday, 5th August, we visited O'Bannon Woods State Park and nearby Wyandotte Caves. We went to
Wyandotte Caves while waiting for the Hay Press demonstration and Living Pioneer Farmstead to take place at the Hickory Hollow Interpretive Centre at O'Bannon Woods. We had a tour of Little Wyandotte Cave, also known as Siebert's Cave, and really enjoyed seeing this unique piece of natural history. There were many interesting rock formations, stalactites and stalagmites - many of which had names matching their appearance. Here are a few photos of our tour of Little Wyandotte Cave.
