Our gift shop is a spacious log cabin, blending perfectly into the natural surroundings located just a few feet from the main entrance. Come sit on our porch and kick back in our locally handmade rocking chairs. Even on the hottest summer days, the cool cave air keeps the ground temperatures comfortable and refreshing. Our gift shop offers a vast array of gifts and unique items. You'll find something that will catch your eye. Check out our Facebook Page for more!
While browsing the gift shop, make sure you check out our display of various Civil War artifacts and donated items. You will also see a partial casting of the Megalonyx jeffersoni, the giant sloth discovered in the late 1700s by nitre workers and studied by Thomas Jefferson himself. We have arrow heads found in and around the cave, plus crinoids, coral from the sea, gypsum, aragonite, soda straws, volcanic glass and other minerals too numerious to mention. Our latest find was a human finger and the elbow of a black bear, found in 2012 by an employee on an extended exploring expedition. We now have the shark fin spin picture on display! We are still finding artifacts in and around the Organ Cave property. All these things are put on display in the gift shop.
So if you love history, geology, or just looking for the perfect gift, our gift shop offers all that would be desired. Stop in for a chat, have an ice cream or soda. Our showcase is changing all the time. Below are some of the finds from the cave and surrounding area.
Can you identify any of these artifacts?
