Herkimer 2010

We finally decided to visit Howe Caverns. We have been to many caverns along the Eastern corridor and it is definitely the most commercial cavern. It has been in operation to the public since 1928.
Here we see the very first guides who took the public down into the caverns during that time.

Here is a photo of the main entry room which is undated but very much the same as it is today.

The caverns are very large and open, something we are not used to. Here you can see Sandi along with our group.

The formations in the caverns are familar but always amazing.
