See the only remaining restored Gangster Era site— historical tours of extensive caves carved into the hillside in long abandoned mining ventures in the 1800s and the surrounding areas. The Caves were later a mushroom farm and then developed as a Restaurant Casino and Gangsters' Hotspot during the 1930s following prohibition. Newspapers reported an unsolved gangland murder at the casino. Tour guides point out the bullet holes. Some believe the caves are haunted by the murdered mobsters whose bodies were never found.
