Description
From Geneaology Trails
On the headwaters of the Gravois, southwest of Versailles, is a cave, called Cave Mills, about a quarter of a mile long-that forms a perfect tunnel through the hill, with a natural and ample opening at each end. It is walled, roofed and floored; the roof at the entrance on the creek is about thirty feet above the floor. In entering at this point there is seen a fine spring. One is impressed in looking at this, probably the most ancient tunnel in the world, with the idea that the prehistoric races built rail-roads and tunneled the mountains.

Interesting Tunnel
Natural tunnel 1/4 mile long. Directly beside the spring fed and beautiful Gravois creek. Private land, be invisible.
