“Haunting History” returns to Dunbar Cave

Volunteers have been gearing up for a week for the annual Haunting History autumn tours at Dunbar Cave, which runs Friday and Saturday, October 24-25, at Dunbar Cave Natural Area on Dunbar Cave Road, in Clarksville. The event runs from 5-8 p.m..

It’s a family affair, with teams of guides taking children as young as three years of age (young children must be accompanied by a parent) through one section of the cave. What’s inside? The path through the cave will be illuminated with carved pumpkins. Inside the cave, three grottos are set up with young actors from the Roxy Regional Theatre offering stories and skits on the cave’s natural history.
