to Kutrtown State College for
help. They showed us this
film on caves and cave
formations.
“We learned so much from
the film that we decided our
visitors might enjoy seeing it
too,” said Ann.
The film explains how
caves are ‘born’ and how the
various formations that can
be found in caves are formed
from mineral water dripping
from the cave ceilings or
cracks in the walls.
After the educational prep
talk, visitors can casually
stroll down to the cave’s
entrance with their com
petent tour guide, one of the
Rizzo family members.
The cave is strikingly
natural, with only the ar
tificial white lights breaking
the darkness of its interior.
Wrapped in a welcome
sweater, a visitor feels a
rush of cool, damp air after
stepping inside—a sharp
contrast to the stifling heat
outside the cave’s mouth.
The tour .guide, with
flashlight in hand, leads the
way through the cave,down
gravel paths and up wooden
steps, pointing out low
passages and interesting
stalactites, natural bridges,

Visitors can quench their
thirst by sipping some of the
crystal clear, cold water that
is found in pools.
According to Ann Rizzo,
Onyx cave was discovered in
1872 by Isaac Adams. She
explained that Adams, the
farm owner, was mining for
limestone and accidently
stumbled into the cave
Since its discovery, the
cave has had a new owner
seven times, she said, noting
that Gordon Frazer owned
the cave for 20 years before
they bought it from him.
During the depression, the
owner of the cave could not
meet his financial
obligations and the bank
took over the property,
renting it to college students
who destroyed a lot of the
formations during their stay,
Rizzo sighed.
Onyr Cave, which is 922
feet long, was actually
formed millions of years
ago. It gets its name from
the mineral, calcium car
bonate, which crystallizes
into the ‘gem’ called onyx
which takes 366-400 years to
‘grow’ one inch.
Theresa explained that
cave onyx is also known as
‘worry stone’. “You carry a
piece of it around with you
and rub it whenever you’re
worried. It helps ease your
