Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, the Majestic Caverns (formerly DeSoto Caverns) are a series of caves with an incredibly rich history. While taking a guided tour, visitors will learn all about the many purposes the caves have served over the years, which include sheltering the area's prehistoric indigenous peoples, providing gunpowder for Confederate soldiers, and offering a safe place to make and store moonshine during Prohibition. However, the fun doesn't stop as soon as you exit the caverns; the site offers plenty of other things to keep visitors entertained as well, including a butterfly house, a water golf course, and a maze.
