Take a tour of Wind Cave National Park | Dakota Life

In 1881, Jesse and Tom Bingham became the first white people known to have located a natural entrance to the cave. The brothers were pursuing a wounded deer when they heard a whistling noise and felt a stiff breeze coming from a hole in the ground. Native Americans had known about the cave for a long time before European settlers arrived. Some tribes considered the site sacred. Wind Cave is world-famous for a calcite cave formation called box work and combined with the history and culture of the national park make for an exciting time in the Black Hills.
