Marvel Cave had been a tourist attraction since the 1890s, its entrance room is the largest in America, and the first explorers were lowered in on a rope. The family leasing it built an 1880s mining town at the surface to give people something to do while they waited for the tour, and the town swallowed the cave.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
