Discover West Virginia's largest caverns!  Hidden beneath the Earth's surface, only a few miles form West Virginia's highest peak, lie the beautiful Seneca Caverns - an  underground wonderland.

Seneca Caverns were first discovered and used by the Seneca Indians, one of the six tribes of Iroquois Confederacy, around 1400 A.D.  The Seneca Indians used the caverns for ceremonial ritual, as well as for refuge from harsh weather or enemy tribes.

In 1742, European explorer Laven Teter re-discovered the entrance and began exploration of the caverns interior.  Commercial lantern tours began in 1928; in 1930 electrical lighting was added to insure the safety of guides and tourists.
