The Bell Family - Denise Bell - 1 of 3 The story of this cave starts in 1872. Two boys, Peter Rutan and Henry Komer, were out playing with their dog. The dog chased a rabbit into some brush, and disappeared. The boys went looking for the dog and came upon an opening which was actually a natural sinkhole. Their weight was enough to activate the sinkhole sending them down into the first level of the cave. They found their dog, and ran back to town to tell everyone about what had happened. #bigdreamlittleamerica #bdla #bnwstories #bnw #bnwphotography #blog #blogger #cave #senecacaverns #nature #ohio
