Luray Caverns
- Discover Eastern America's largest and most
popular caverns. A U.S.
Natural Landmark, noted for its profuse variety of formations and
unsurpassed natural color. From well-lighted, paved walkways,
explore cathedral-sized rooms with ceilings 10 stories high - filled with
towering stone columns and crystal-clear pools. Also, hear the haunting
sounds of the world's only
Stalacpipe Organ. |
At 117 feet in height, the
Luray Singing Tower contains a carillon of 47 bells. The largest bell weighs 7,640 pounds and
is six feet in diameter. The smallest weighs a mere 12 1/2 pounds.
Recognized as one of the country's major carillons, regularly scheduled
recitals are held, free-of-charge throughout the spring, summer and fall. |
