Who is this? The Antique Cave Duck – the only critter we guarantee you will see. This duck has history in the cave. For over 75 years the duck has been perched in the same spot, his own duck pond, and has been photographed more than any other critter in Bluff Dwellers Cavern. He sits on the edge because in his long life he can’t swim when the cave floods. Come see the beautiful cave and The Antique Cave Duck.

One of the most interesting geological formations is the 75′ rimstone dam located near the original discovery point of the cavern Measuring at 75′ the dam is one of the biggest mysteries at Bluff Dwellers Cavern. The long barrier is nearly symetrical on both sides and even makes a similar curve on both ends. The real intriguing thing about the Dam is that Geological Scientist still haven’t determined how it was formed!

One of our most famous, the Musical Chimes is widely known as the very beginning of “hard rock.” The Chimes are formed by hollow curtains of rock that are hollow within, producing a unique frequency similar to a xylophone. This formation has been an icon at Bluff Dwellers Cavern since its inception in 1927. Many of the tour guides are one of a kind musicians at playing the Chimes. Formed from hollow curtains of rock , the Chimes are just one of many attractions inside the cavern that instill a sense of wonder in children of all ages.

The exploration begins! Excavation began from a small head sized opening. It became apparent that there was a network of subterranean corridors channeling the layers of rock like a subway system. Two natural openings were found that had been hidden by hillside talus and slabs of rock weathered from the bluff face over several thousand years.

Limestone, which most Ozark caves are formed covers much of the Ozark Plateau in the midwest. It was 1925, in a limestone outcrop, that Bluff Dwellers Cavern was discovered by Arthur Browning, owner of the property, and two surveyors, Bob Ford and Bryan Gilmore, employed by the highway department.
