First discovered by prospectors, this Black Hills cave welcomed tourists as far back as 1892! First called Crystal Cave, it went through several changes in ownership. How did it come into the hands of the Conception Abbey, and who renamed it Bethlehem Cave?
Bring along your mental flashlight, and listen to this podcast to find out! Guests include Verda Swenson, who grew up on the property, and Shareece Tatum and Mikkelina Swenson, descendants of Loui Storm, who developed the Cave into a thriving attraction.
