CLARKSVILLE, TN – The Friends of Dunbar Cave (FODC) is hosting a membership drive on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 9 a.m. until noon. People who become members of FODC that day will be given the opportunity to go on a free guided cave tour that same afternoon.

Please, see the cave tour membership guidelines below:

  1. Cave tour for new members will begin at 4pm that afternoon as not to interfere with the regular public tours.
  2. A sign-up sheet should be at the membership table. The first 20 people to sign up will go on 4 p.m. tour. After it fills up, members are still entitled to a free tour but will have to make arrangements to come back on one of the regularly scheduled public tours in Spring 2023. They will have to call the park office to schedule.
  3. A family membership equals four spaces on the tour.
  4. All the standard rules apply; one flashlight per person (no cell phones), must be at least five years old, no photography in the cave, tennis shoes or boots recommended.

On the morning of Dec. 3 from 9 a.m. until noon, FODC members will be at the park office to talk about membership. Bring an appetite, they’ll be hosting a donation-based bake sale that morning, too. Additionally, they will be selling T-shirts as well as cards featuring a painting by Larry Richardson, and Christmas ornaments featuring photographs of Dunbar Cave by Jim Hancock, both longtime members.
