The second longest commercial cave on the East Coast and a National Natural and Historic Landmark, Organ Cave features Thomas Jefferson’s three-toed sloth and the largest collection of Civil War hoppers in the U.S. Visit http://www.organcave.com for more details.
Cities of the Underworld follows the adventurous host, Don Wildman, as he uncovers archaeological and cultural history lying beneath the streets of cities around the world. From Cold War-era bunkers hidden beneath a house in Berlin, to a Byzantine Hippodrome buried below an Istanbul high school, Don travels the globe to uncover escape routes, crypts, dungeons, even entire palaces buried beneath the streets. Whether he’s lifting manhole covers, rappelling down subterranean tunnels, or paddling through underground rivers, Don will enlist the help of local archeologists and experts as he seeks to dig up the secrets of these past civilizations.
Other cities this season include Moscow, Tokyo, Dublin, Prague, and Jerusalem. The DC show explores historic tunnels right under the Capitol Building, The Greenbrier Bunker, and Baltimore’s Fort McHenry, which proved a major turning point in the War of 1812.
