Wigwam Village #2 - Cave City Kentucky
The Wigwam Village Inn #2 began as a dream of Frank A. Redford in the early 1900s. Frank’s inspirations in this dream were a popular ice cream shop shaped like an upside down cone and authentic teepees he’d seen on a Sioux reservation in South Dakota. His dream became reality in 1935 when construction on Wigwam Village #1 was completed in Horse Cave, Kentucky. Realizing he’d hit upon a popular idea, Frank patented the design with the US patent office in 1936.
Wigwam Village Inn #2 was completed in 1937 in Cave City, and five more were built over time in Alabama, Florida, New Orleans, California, and Arizona. From the beginning, the Wigwam Villages were gathering places with an atmosphere of old-time neighborliness. The community area at the center of the circle of wigwams seemed to invite people to come and talk. Nowadays, our playground at the center of the teepees invites young folks to play and our new 16'x16' Misting Deck is a great way to cool off on a hot summer day - regardless of your age! Of the seven original Wigwam Villages, only three remain: #2 in Cave City, Kentucky, #6 in Holbrook, Arizona. and #7 in Riallto, California.

Mackie J interview
Part of Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo is Mammoth Onyx Cave, discovered by a young girl, Martha Woodson, in 1799. Mammoth Onyx Cave is located in the middle of the best-known cave region of the United States.
The slow process of forming caves in soluble rock, which is what defines karst land, begins with rain. As rain falls, it absorbs a small amount of carbon dioxide, and gathers more from decaying vegetation as it moves through the soil, becoming a weak carbonic acid solution - like fizz in a Coke. As the solution seeps through cracks and crevices, it dissolves soluble rock and forms cavities and channels -- cave passages.
Although caves are formed in a variety of ways, in the case of Mammoth Onyx Cave, the acid seeps through limestone, dissolving away calcium carbonate. This, in turn, drips into the cave where the carbon dioxide is given off. Water will no longer carry the minerals, so they are deposited in the form of tiny crystals -- calcite, or cave onyx.
As watery drops hang from the ceiling, calcite is slowly deposited and a stalactite is formed, though it takes about 120 years for a cubic inch to grow. When a mineral-rich water droplet falls to the cave floor, a stalagmite builds up. Beads of moisture can also deposit onyx on cave walls in knobby clusters called cave coral. And water flowing slowly down cave walls or across inclines forms sculpture-smooth onyx called flowstone. Sinkholes occur when the acid solution has dissolved out a drainage network in the rock through which large quantities of water can travel underground, eroding away support for the ground surface.
Mammoth Onyx Cave is highly decorated with a wide array of cave formations. These include abundant stalactites, stalagmites, columns, draperies (including serrated draperies), flowstone, rimstone dams, and abundant and diverse types of cave coral.
Mammoth Onyx Cave, in contrast to other local caves, is a very active cave where most of the formations are wet and still depositing. In several places flowstone deposition has covered portions of the trail. The cave formations are unbroken and in excellent conditions throughout most of the cave.
