Lantern Tour Package
…See the caves the way Lester Howe and his guests first saw it in 1842 – by lantern light! All Lantern Tours begin in the museum with an extensive history briefing. Then you will be guided through the caverns under the full beauty of the lights, to the underground lake where torches and lanterns are lit.
