“a rare gem in the Ozark region of Missouri”

Bluff Dwellers Cave is a rare gem lost in the Ozark region of Missouri. A bat’s flight from both Arkansas and Oklahoma, the cavern has been attracting guests from across the U.S. for 85 years. To find out more about how Arthur Browning discovered, explored, and eventually opnened Bluff Dwellers Cavern to the public in 1927. Arthur Browning was not the first man to step foot in the cave, ancient Paleo-Indians used the cavern and others in the Ozark region as shelter. These ancient people were also named “Bluff-Dwellers” by many of the early archeologist and the name soon became vernacular. One of the best things about Bluff Dwellers Cave is the rich history touching eras throughout earth’s history

Truly a remarkable cavern! Easily traversed and excellent tour guide. Definitely one of our top favorite spots on our 1500 mile road trip! Loved it.

The cave tour is beautiful and fascinating. The museum and gift shop aren't much. Worth the stop.

This was a great stop! Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the shady areas before or after the tour. The cave has a few stairs and is narrow but one of the most “flat” caves I’ve been in. The tour guides are very knowledgable on the history of the cave and how it formed. The sluicing area is fun for kids (extra cost) and adults!
