Beacon Cave tourism idea stirs after rumor of closing
A rumor that Beacon Cave would be closed triggered discussion of turning it into a tourist site. Wytheville Cave Club and area owners denied plans and the mayor said no city or county action exists. The cave, on private property near Beacon Drive-In, has two entrances and extensive cave mapping by the VPI Cave Club. Potential promotion remains under discussion with local officials and property owners.
