The knight is dead... the property is now private.
[Eric Gregg, 03/20/2019]We passed this on 7-17-18 and it's in sorry shape. You can barely see it due to the vines and other overgrowth. Not even worth a photo.
[Larissa, 07/21/2018]No-one shall have the sword! No-one shall wield Excalibur...But ME!
The statue is now headless. No longer an operating business, but there is still a spot to pull off, even with the gates up.
[Reagan, 06/07/2017]The statue no longer stands alone, and his headgear is missing.
[Dwight, 05/15/2017]
The giant knight is a totally cool statue! The whole Cave City area is really neat, and there are all kinds of things to do and explore!
[teamReames, 08/19/2014]Cave City will likely always thrive as a tourist trap/attraction funnel, situated just east of the main entrance to Mammoth Cave National Park.

The knight -- formerly an attraction for a souvenir shop -- was abandoned when the shop closed, lost his head in the Spring of 2017, and the photo Eric sent to us shows a pile of armor rubble. But he looked great in his glory days!
