Transcript of THE BEAUTIFUL LURAY CAVERNS...The Caverns of Luray are visited each year by thousands of persons...
THE BEAUTIFUL LURAY CAVERNS LURA·Y, VIRGINIA
LOCATED ABOUT ONE-HALF MILE WEST OF LURAY
T HE most elaborate attempts, by the most gifted writers, utterly fail to convey, to those who
have never seen them, an idea of what the Caverns really are. Even the most modern
photographers fail to reproduce adequately the true likeness of the stalactites, stalagmites, columns
and drapery in their wonderful figures and to bring out fully the delicate hues and shadows
wrought by the hand of nature.
Although no one realizes more fully than the writer how imperfect and inadequate any
illustration or description must necessarily be; this little book ~ill give a slight intimation of
what the tourist may expect to see in this greatest of World Wonders in the famous Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia.
The Caverns were discovered, after a long-continued search, on August 13, 1878, by Messrs.
T. B. Stebbins, A. J. Campbell, and W. B. Campbell.
They are fully lighted with electricity and fitted throughout with cement walks, stairways,
and iron railings. The Caverns of Luray are visited each year by thousands of persons from all
parts of the globe; all testifying to their supreme beauty and interest.
