Like much of West Virginia and the Potomac Highlands, the history of Smoke Hole Caverns is tied to the Seneca Indians.
These Native Americans used the caverns to smoke wild game. The scene was so common that early settler's call the
place Smoke Hole. Legend also has it that during the Civil War, gold bars and coins were hidden in the Caverns
walls. Early settlers also made there cavern a home for making West Virginia Moonshine. The clean cold stream that
flows through the Caverns was perfect and it has been told perhaps as many as 20 stills operated there at one time!
Don't forget to also bring your camera to take pictures of the "showy" part of the caverns--the World's
Longest Ribbon Stalactite, the Room of a Million Stalactites, Artesian Well and other natural marvels.
