The Quarry Hill Nature Center hosted a tour of the ground s unique caves on Sunday.
Tour guide Travis Meyer said the caves were constructed in 1879 as a way to keep produce fresh for the state hospital that resided above.
Inside the cave is 32 identical rooms and two larger rooms: the Apple and Butter rooms.
Meyer said the underground cave cellar is unique for southeastern Minnesota. Well, the caves that we have here in the park are man-made caves. That is probably the most notable distinction between any other caves you would find in southeastern Minnesota, so if you go to Mystery Cave or Niagara Cave, you are going to see a cave made by nature. The cave that we are visiting today was carved out by probably 5 or 6 men over the course of a year to a couple of years, Meyer said.

A year of cabin fever has people flocking to Minnesota State Parks and campsites.
Through the first six months of 2021, nearly one-third of all available nights at state campsites had been reserved for use, according to data provided by the Minnesota DNR. During that timeframe the agency recorded 142,095 reservations out of 431,725 available nights.
This occupancy rate of 32.91% marks a fairly large jump from 2019, when the occupancy rate from January through June was 24.49% (103,368 visits during 422,104 available nights). In May alone this year, more than half of all available campsite nights were taken up.
