The next Robber Baron Open House is scheduled for Saturday, September 28, 2019 from 9am to 3pm. This special event only occurs once every 18 months, so don’t miss this rare opportunity! The Open House is open to the public. It is free, although we do appreciate donations to help maintain the preserve. We will also have the famous Robber Baron Cave Map t-shirts for sale, and we will have a photographer to take your group photos in the cave with printed photos available on surface when you exit. Note that this is a “wild cave”. There are no sidewalks or handrails, and you might get a little muddy. We recommend you wear jeans, an old t-shirt, and sneakers or boots. This year there are two options for touring the cave: Just show up as usual and take a self guided tour through the cave on a first-come basis as space is available. Take a small group guided tour to off-trail locations not visited by the self-guided tour – space is limited and must be reserved in advance. You must be in good physical condition for this tour. Ages 12 and up only.  Sign ups for the guided tours will be available
