Secret Caverns

Secret Caverns

Nestled in the hallowed halls of the hollow earth, Secret Caverns is a small commercial cavern located in upstate New York. Founded by local civil engineer Roger Mallery, the caverns have hosted America's roadside travelers and seekers of subterranean knowledge and adventure since its discovery by intrepid bovine explorers in 1928. Visitors to the cave can expect a 45-minute to 1-hour guided walk through an unsullied but accessible prehistoric passageway encrusted by the patient hand of time. Mother Natures' handiwork can be easily viewed, in the form of stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone. The tour culminates when one reaches the world-famous 100 ft underground waterfall. Truly a wonder of nature, this rare sight is unmatched among showcaves.

Fort Stanwix National Monument

Fort Stanwix National Monument

For centuries, the Oneida Carrying Place, a six-mile portage connecting the Mohawk River and Wood Creek, served as a vital link for those traveling by water from the ocean to the Great Lakes. When Europeans arrived, nations fought for control of the carry, the homelands of the Six Nations Confederacy, and the rich resources of North America. In this struggle, Fort Stanwix would play a vital role known as "the fort that never surrendered."

Once inside the visitor center, visitors receive an orientation from the ranger on duty. The Monument has three short trails that encircle the fort. One of the trails follows a portion of the Oneida Carrying Place. The other two trails interpret the events of the siege of 1777.

Join a ranger-led program and gain a greater understanding of the events that happened here. Check with the ranger on duty in the Willett Center for times and locations of all programs offered that day.

Visitors have an opportunity to discover their own bridges to the past in the museum area. Other activities in the fort include living history programs. All visitors are welcome to join our special events and experience 18th-century military life.
