Jacobs Cave has unlimited potential, with an
unexplored section of the cave that could be dug out and would be
large enough to put in a cave restaurant or a winery.
There is another unexplored section of Jacobs Cave system that could
be dug out and could extend more than 1/4 mile. This new extension
could be a separate cave tour. Jacobs Cave is an over flow from the
main cave system which has not been reached. The main cave system
extends for over four miles.
Totally handicap accessible for every conveyance from baby strollers
to electric wheel chairs, Jacobs Cave is truly a family show cave.
With ½ mile of concrete sidewalks and no steps, it is the only walk
through show cave in Missouri and one of the very few in the U.S.
The effects of six ice ages and three earth quakes have created a
vast array of cave formations with millions of soda straws and
features not seen in any other cave in the U.S. There are formations
from HUGE to delicate crystals and the world’s largest geode. For a
tour of these features, you can view the slide show on the
tours page.
On the cave tour, you will find on display, prehistoric bones (found
in Jacobs Cave during the development). There is also an excellent
display of black light rocks at the end of the one mile, one hour or
more cave tour. Ancient writings have been found in the cave that
would date back to the time of Jesus Christ.
Included with the sale is a 28 X 72 ft., two story building over the
entrance to the cave. The lower portion is a ticket office and
rock/novelty shop. The upper level is a four bedroom, two bath home.
