dbo:abstract
  • Die Penn’s Cave ist eine im Centre County im US-Bundesstaat Pennsylvania gelegene Höhle und die einzige in voller horizontaler Ausdehnung mit Wasser gefüllte größere Höhle der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie ist nach John Penn, dem Neffen des Koloniengründers William Penn, benannt und befindet sich auf einem weitläufigen Farmgelände 7,6 Kilometer nordöstlich von und 4,6 Kilometer nordwestlich der Dorfschaft Spring Mills. An der Penns Cave Road, die von der Pennsylvania Route 192 (in jenem Abschnitt West Madison Avenue genannt) abzweigt, liegt sie offiziell noch auf dem zu Centre Hall zählendem Gemeindeland. Kompliziert und bis heute nicht vollständig entschlüsselt ist das hydrologische System der Penn’s Cave, die als typische Karsthöhle zahlreiche Wasseradern der Region aufnimmt und als starke Quelle einen Bach speist. Weißen Siedlern ist die Höhle seit mindestens 1773 bekannt – amerikanischen Ureinwohnern bereits wesentlich länger. Als Beginn des Schauhöhlenbetriebes gilt gemeinhin das Jahr 1885, in dem erstmals Bootsfahrten angeboten und Eintritt erhoben wurde, was sie nach der Crystal Cave (1872) zur zweitältesten Schauhöhle des Bundesstaates macht. Seit 1908 ist die Höhle im Besitz der Familie Campbell/Schleiden, mittlerweile in der dritten Generation. (de)

A one-story, rear wing was added in 1962, and was a coffee shop for cave visitors until 1980, when the Penn's Cave Visitors Center was built and opened. In 1980, it became a private residence. Its upper floors are used for corporate offices, private meetings and special events. The cave is a popular tourist attraction and features a natural curiosity with its Trenton (or Beekmantown) limestone formations. The cave measures approximately 1,300 feet in length and the height of the cave roof measures up to 55 feet above the surface of the stream which is 3 to 5 feet deep throughout the cave. The temperature within the cave remains a constant 52 degrees Fahrenheit year round. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Penn's Cave Airport is adjacent to the park. Penn's Cave was fined by the USDA in 2021 for the deaths of 34 white tailed deer, 11 of which were shot. Some of the deer were killed for "looking sick" but there was no notification or consultation with the veterinarian as legally required. 18 of the 21 white tailed deer born at Penn's Cave in 2020 died. * The former hotel at the cave * Cave interior * Map of Penn's Cave, October 2010 (en)
