Day trip to Black Coffey Caverns
Between 1932 and 1954 Black-Coffey Cavern was a thriving
commercial cave located in Franklin County, PA. Then, it was left
abandoned for nearly 70 years until February 2021. The new owners open
there home and the cave on some weekends. The cave entrance is in the
basement of the house. The cave is about a 2-hour drive from DC and
this is the first DC Grotto trip to the cave. Sign-up information will
be sent to the Grotto's email list on January 9th.
