Berks County – Crystal Cave
April 11 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
A dark narrow hole leading into the side of a steep hill was accidentally discovered by William Merkel and John Gehret while they were blasting for limestone on a chilly Sunday morning, 1871. After the smoke cleared and the surrounding dirt was removed, they realized that the opening was large enough to enter. Curiosity led them inside, but total darkness and fear of the unknown kept them from going any further… Want to know what happened next?? Join us on April 11th as we descend 125 feet underground into Crystal Cave! The mine’s temperature is 54°F year-round. A light jacket and comfortable shoes are recommended.
