Cave of the Mounds
Cave of the Mounds, a natural limestone cave located in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, is named for two nearby hills called the Blue Mounds. The cave’s beauty comes from its many varieties of mineral formations called speleothems. The Chicago Academy of Sciences considers the Cave of the mounds to be “the significant cave of the upper Midwest” because of its beauty and it is promoted as the “jewel box” of major American caves. This is a must see. More information can be found on the Cave of the Mounds website: https://www.caveofthemounds.com/
