Items related to Glenwood Caverns and the Historic Fairy Caves
GLENWOOD CAVERNS and the HISTORIC FAIRY CAVES is a history book, a geology book, but above all else, a picture book. It is in large format, (magazine size), to allow the display of over 30 magnificent photographs of the formations within the caverns.
The historic portion of the caverns, known as the Fairy Caves, was originally opened to the public in 1886. The Fairy Caves were the world's first caves to be illuminated by electric lights. The caves remained open until 1917. They closed on the eve of America's entry into the First World War, and remained closed for 82 years.
After the discovery of several magnificent new "rooms", and an astonishing amount of work by the new operators of the caverns, they were reopened to the public in the spring of 1999.

From the Publisher:
This book is truly one of a kind. The geology and the history of the caverns is fascinating, but the pictures deservedly take, and hold, center stage. They never fail to elicit expressions of delight to the first-time viewer.
From the Author:
GLENWOOD CAVERNS and the HISTORIC FAIRY CAVES was truly a work of love. From the very first of my many visits to the caves, I was absolutely fascinated by the variety, the colors, and the sheer size of the formations. As I learned more about the processes involved in the creation of the caves themselves and of the formations within them, I knew that I had to share them.
