Clarksville, TN – On Saturday, July 24th, 2021, Dunbar Cave State Park will hold “If Rocks Could Talk”.
Dunbar Cave has a unique place in the indigenous story that has persisted through time. Join Seasonal Interpreter Marley on a lantern lit journey through this narrative.
As day transitions to night we will journey through the forest discussing myths and legends related to Mississippian Culture.
Finally, reaching the cave entrance, we will move forward into this lower world where 800 years ago humans left fragments of a cultural story behind.
This 1.5 hour program will be split between hike and cave.
Registration is required. The cost is $25,00 for adults (ages 13+) and $15.00 for children (ages 8-12). Children must be at least 8 years old.
Participants should be able to hike 2 plus miles over different types of terrain, in the dark. Please bring water, a flashlight, closed-toed shoes, and weather-appropriate clothing. Please check in at the Visitor Center 15 minutes before the program starts.
As a note, this is not the standard cave tour.
