Corriganville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Allegany County, Maryland, United States.

A local naturalist, Raymond Armbruster, observed fossil bones among the rocks that had been blasted loose and were being removed from the cut.

Armbruster notified paleontologists at the Smithsonian Institution, and James W. Gidley began excavating that same year.

Between 1912 and 1916, Gidley excavated the Cumberland Bone Cave, where 41 genera of mammals were found, about 16 per cent of which are extinct.

The Cumberland Bone cave represents one of the finest Pleistocene-era faunas known from eastern North America.
