What is Obscura Day? It's more than 150 events in 39 states and 25 countries, all on a single day, and all designed to celebrate the world's most curious and awe-inspiring places.
Join us this Obscura Day to explore the original mined and finished Wabasha Street Caves, which have seen numerous uses over the decades. In the 1840s the natural silica was mined from the cave to make glass, in the early 1900s a mushroom farm was established by a French family,and in the 70s the caves were a disco hot spot! Today the caves are a popular event spot, and are allegedly haunted by the ghosts of gangsters.
