Indian Echo Caverns

Search Hershey Pennsylvania

Natives viewed this opening into the earth with superstition, never exploring farther than daylight reached into the darkness. William Wilson moved into the cavern in 1786, withdrawing from humanity after his only sister was hanged. He became known as "The Pennsylvania Hermit," living inside the cavern for 19 years. Cold hard stone shelves provided his bed, a candle his light for reading and writing in the dark chamber he called home. Park guides offer a 45-minute guided, narrated tour amid the natural beauty of stalagmites, stalactites, columns, flowstone and lakes.
