Roots in the Cave
Roots in the Cave is an annual fall event that explores the family histories and heritage of those people who once lived on what is now parkland at Mammoth Cave National Park. There will be a Friday evening panel discussion focused on Leo Hunt, his exploration of New Discovery and the Hunt family. The genealogy room in the Rotunda Room will be open to the public on Friday and Saturday. Also on Saturday is a four-mile cave trip to Echo River and an evening presentation of the history of Mammoth Cave Hotel. A registration fee of $25 includes the cave tour and admission to the Friday night Panel Discussion on Leo Hunt. Admission to the Panel Discussion alone is $5, free with purchase of dinner in the hotel dining room. The cave tour is limited to 40 participants. For questions, please call Mary Anne Davis at 270-773-5099.
On November 9, 10, and 11, the park will offer free guided Mammoth Passage tours. Each tour is limited to 40 people; visitors must pick up their free tickets at the visitor center prior to departure times. Mammoth Passage tours will depart from the visitor center at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, 2:30, and 3:00.
