The historic marker for the cave states that “Jacques-Timothe De Montbrun, French Canadian fur trader and later lieutenant governor of the Illinois Country, visited this area as early as 1769.

One of the biggest downtown housing crashes in America is happening right now in Nashville, TN.
Condo owners are liquidating. And people who bought near the peak are selling at $300k+ losses.
The previous condo owner bought it for $1.15 million in March 2024.
And just sold it for $825,000 this month.
That's a $325,000 loss (-28%) in just 2.5 years. And that's before realtor commissions and other expenses.
And this downturn will likely continue, as Downtown Nashville has the biggest supply pile-up of any dowtown area in America. (inventory 110% above normal).
In fact, typical values in Nashville 37203 already down 11.2% from peak, but clearly are dropping more in some cases.
Meaning condo sellers are facing an enormous amount of competition, with more price cuts likely coming in 2027.
Good news if you're looking to scoop up a discounted condo. Bad news if you bought near the peak.
