Ride the chairlift or shuttle
to the top of Guntown Mountain and step back into history.
Live entertainment, exciting gunfights, saloon shows, magic
shows, cave tours and a haunted house are all a part of the
family adventure that awaits visitors.
Visitors to Mammoth Cave
sometimes go away without learning of the colorful history
of the area. It is common talk that Jesse James, one of the
most notorious outlaws of almost a century ago, frequently
dodged the law in this very country.
In frontier days, this was
wild and rugged land, and the men who passed through were
just as rugged as the land.
Guntown Mountain is an
authentic recreation of that fascinating era. The town
itself is complete down to the last detail offering Jesse
James Museum of Gunfighters; Saloon Show; Music; Magic; and
Gunfights.
Moreover, the mountain is
the highest point in the Mammoth Cave area, and the view is
spectacular. When you come to Mammoth Cave, ride the scenic
chairlift to the top of Guntown Mountain and step back into
history. |
