Luray Cavern

Luray Cavern, a cave, not large, but remarkable for the vast number and extraordinary shapes of its stalactites, is close to Luray village, Virginia (90 miles NW. of Richmond). Many of these wonderful columns exceed 50 feet in length; numbers of them are hollow, giving out bell-like notes when struck; and the colours range from waxy white to yellow, brown, or rosy red. The cavern, which is lit with the electric light, attracts thousands of visitors every year.
