Information

According to family lore, George, Maria, and their family spent their first Minnesota winter in this carved-out cave into the hillside. The cave extends deep into the hillside and has two adjoining "rooms" on either side of the main tunnel, forming a t-shaped structure.

Amongst this cave's unique features is the extensive family "graffiti" carved into the cave walls. The walls are marked throughout with names, dates, and even little drawings that have been preserved over the years.
