Discovered in July of 1857 by Jesse Coats. The first visitor to the Cave was lowered into the Cave by a rope. He noticed all the sparkling rocks and thought he had found a Diamond mine and named his discovery Diamond Caverns. The sparkling rocks were actually Calcite formations. Wisely they stuck with Diamond Caverns, a much catchier name.
