The copper from the coins give it this greenish look. Each year, the
money is pulled out of the now toxic water, and donated to various charities
displayed above the pool (but not photographed). |

Luray Caverns houses the largest musical instrument in the world.
An 'organ' was carefully built using certain formations that produced
appropriate pitches when lightly tapped. Magnetic hookups convey the
sound to speakers located in a central location. This cave-organ has
37 notes. When you go through the tour, the guide may press a button
which will cause the organ to play "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." |

Even the walls have ears here in the caverns. |
This formation can be seen three times during the tour. The caves
twist and wind about, with this structure appearing somewhere in the middle
of the caverns. The people who originally found the cave used to use this
to get their bearings. |
