Exploration and Adventure, 100 Years of Discovery – Oregon Cave National Monument, established 1909

Elijah Davidson discovered the caves in 1874 while on a hunting expedition near his home of Williams, Oregon. In 1907, after many explorations by adventurous travel parties and even a failed business venture to develop the cave as a resort, a proposal was submitted to the Federal Government to set aside the caves as a national monument. Two years later on July 12, 1909, President William Howard Taft established 480 acres within Siskiyou National Forest to become Oregon Caves National Monument for its, "unusual scientific interest and importance." Join in on the events that are happening throughout the centennial season at Oregon Caves!
