the cave district

i stayed at horse cave, kentucky --- the cave is one of many in western kentucky's cave district, which has attracted tourists since before the civil war --- in the middle of the eponymous town, the south side of main street falls away a hundred feet to the cave entrance ---between horse cave and cave city are some excellent motels from the 1950s and 1960s

the best of the motels were the "wigwams," which were more like concrete teepees --- fiften of them plus a big one housing the office ---
