Tuckaleechee Caverns

[citation needed] Tuckaleechee runs under the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to Townsend, Tennessee.

The caverns were opened for tours in 1931 by Earl McCampbell, but the business shut down after one year due to economic impacts of the Great Depression.

The caverns were re-opened to the public by Townsend locals Bill Vananda and Harry Myers in 1953.

The caverns are known for the "Big Room" that could almost fit a football stadium inside it.

The cavern originates at White Oak Sinks in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
