Glover's Cave

Glover's Cave

Glover's Cave is a naturally formed cave in southern Todd County, Kentucky near Trenton. Over 3.2k of the cave have been surveyed. [http://glaciercaves.com/html/caveso_1.HTM] The cave was used for many purposes since its discovery by native Indians. It has been found that Native Americans were inhabiting the cave since about 10,000 years ago, up until approximately 1,000 years ago. Col. Raymond C. Vietzen, an archaeologist from Ohio, performed extensive excavations with permission from the Jones' family in the 1940s-1980s. He published 'The Saga of Glover's Cave' in 1957. The cave was used during the American Civil War as a camp. Jesse James used the cave as a hide-out on his way to rob the Russellville, Kentucky bank. The property now is owned privately by the Jones family.
