The entrance to this cave sits under a house, and the tour starts by heading down through the basement. No ticket booth. No giant parking lot with souvenir stands. The tour runs on donations instead of a set admission fee. You book ahead online, grab a flashlight, and follow a guide down a steep set of stairs into the dark.

Boys started one of Chambersburg's historic fire companies

The Chambersburg Fire Department is rich in history, and its origin dates back to 1780 when the United Fire Company was organized. Along the way there were other fire companies organized in town. Today you'll have the opportunity to learn about the beginning of one of those outstanding fire companies. It was common practice for fire company members to take the fire equipment out and throw a stream of water through the fire nozzle at an object or at a specific distance. It was during these exercises that many young boys would gather to watch the members of the Friendship Fire Company operate their equipment. One day during the spring of 1869 someone suggested starting a boys’ fire company. It was during this time that Fire Marshal John C. Gerbig organized these young men, and they became known as the Friendship Juniors. Good news was in the air as it became official on June 13, 1872, when Chambersburg Town Council voted to recognize this group of young men as the Junior Hose Company No. 2. The company’s motto was “Ever Ready.” Initially the Juniors held their company meetings at the Friendship Fire House on South Second Street next to Borough
