East Central Jessamine County...Boone Cave
Previous | Home | Next
This is also sometimes called Tapp's Cave. Although many caves throughout Kentucky are claimed to have been lived in by the old hunter Daniel Boone, very little evidence can be found that he lived in any of them. That is with the exception of this one. Lisle C. Draper, historian, spent much of his life researching the life of Daniel Boone. He became very interested in this cave, possibly from the stories he had been told about it. Draper wrote several people in Jessamine county inquiring of the location of the cave. He called it a Rockhouse. No one could tell him anything about it.
