Sevierville, Tennessee - Forbidden Caverns

Brochure Highlights: Cover view of stalactites and stalagmites, impossible to tell whether they are 60 feet or six inches tall, and the line "The Tales These Walls Could Tell."

Inside spread features a line drawing of a caveman, a weeping Indian princess, and a mountain man clutching a jug of moonshine. "An interesting legend tells the fate of an Indian princess who was lost in a 'hollow mountaion of two streams' ... 'which is forbidden.'" [roadsideamerica.com, 08/26/2000]

[RA: February 2007: Used as hideout to make moonshine until 1943, which might also possibly explain the source of its name. Supposedly has the largest wall of Cave Onyx in existence.]
