Crystal Grottoes is the only show cave in the U.S. state of Maryland. It is located on Maryland Route 34 between Boonsboro and Antietam National Battlefield. ==History==
Crystal Grottoes was discovered in 1920 in the course of quarrying operations by a road construction crew trying to obtain gravel.〔(Crystal Grottoes web site )〕 A drill bit (for placing explosives) disappeared into a hole, and the crew realized they had found a cave. Blasting produced the entrance which is still used, and in 4/2/1922 the cave was opened to the public. A mapping operation in 1968 revealed about a half mile of passages, but only about one third of the cave is accessed during the tour, which takes about 30-35 minutes.
