Lost World Caverns

Lewisburg, WV -- Tel: 304-645-6677

Descend beneath the Greenbrier Valley into a wonderland of stalactites and stalagmites, including some of the world's most exemplary cavern formations. All you'll need for a 35-minute tour are a light jacket and comfortable walking shoes. Lost World Caverns features the nation's largest compound-stalactite, the 30-ton "Snowy Chandelier," which is one of the world's best displays of pure white calcite. The Guiness World Record for stalactite sitting was set in the caverns in 1971 by Bobby Addis, of Parkersburg, West Virginia, who endured a vigil at the top of the 28-foot-tall "War Club" for 15 days, 23 hours, and 22 minutes.
