Great Saltpetre Cave
Step into history at Great Saltpetre Cave, a stunning natural limestone cavern with a story dating back to the War of 1812, when it was mined for saltpeter used in gunpowder. Today, the cave offers guided tours, educational experiences, and special events, giving visitors a rare look into Kentucky’s underground heritage. A true hidden gem of Rockcastle County!
The cave is now normally closed to visitors, except for the annual Open House held the weekend after Mother's Day. The remainder of the grounds consist of a natural preserve consisting mostly of pasture and woodlands. The property is managed for historical purposes in an attempt to preserve a part of Kentucky's natural beauty for generations to come.
