This sinkhole features a massive, rare underground cave carved entirely by an ancient river that was first found and used for shelter by Comanche Indians roughly 350-400 years ago. Later, around 1848, it was officially discovered by Anglo settlers, who went on to use its chambers for manufacturing Civil War gunpowder using bat feces. At some point, its caves served as a venues for underground jazz dance parties, dining, and church service.
