Little Wyandotte Cave (Siebert’s Cave)

The Wyandotte Caves have been mined by Native Americans for thousands of years and are open to the public. Wyandotte Caves were designated a National Natural Landmark in 1972. They are now part of O'Bannon Woods State Park. The cave system is the 5th largest in the state of Indiana.
The term "Wyandotte Caves" is used to refer to Wyandotte Cave (sometimes called the "Historic Cave") and Little Wyandotte Cave (also called Siberts Cave and sometimes called the "New Cave"), but the two caves are completely different. They are located very close to each other, and are owned and managed by the same entity. There the resemblance ends.
Today we tour Little Wyandotte Cave. It is an easy 30 minute tour that is only about 50 feet underground. The caves at one time were owned by the Rothrock family until the state of Indiana bought the property in 1966.
There used to be a lodge on the property and they are hoping to build one there again in the future. The view from the hilltop is breathtaking. A perfect place for a lodge.
The caves are closed in the winter because Indiana bats hibernate in the caves during the winter.
Thanks for coming along with us!
