"On the Mengel farm is an unexplored cave, of limestone formation. The entrance is large, but up to this time no one has ventured farther than 350 feet into the interior. Occasionally a current of rushing air from the opening is of sufficient strength to take off a man's hat, and during cold winter weather the rush of air caused the limestone rocks at the entrance to be covered with frost. There are a number of similar caves in the vicinity, and many believe that all are connected with the famous Crystal cave a few miles distant."   There was a stone quary on the property.
