The West Liberty Labor Day Festival. It is a great combination of old and new and really brings the community together.

Maries Candies, Liberty Gathering Place, the Ice Cream Parlor and Uncle Beth's Barbeque are some of our favorites. I guess we "cave people" like to eat!

In addition to our cavern tours and regular activities, we have a unique gift shop. Several locals find creative Christmas gifts here. We would love to see more local shoppers visit our store.
