Oregon Caves Are Reopened - May 1946

This is an excerpt from an article that was published May 17, 1946 in an out of state newspaper.

"Oregon Caves recreational area near Grants Pass, Oregon which were closed during the war years will reopen late in May under the national park service.  Harold B. Say has been appointed general manager of the resort.


Before the war, increasing thousands each year were taking the 19-mile drive to the caves up through the timbered Siskiyou mountains from the Redwood Highway.

The weird and beautiful underground chambers and the Swiss chalet lodge in a canyon at the mouth of the caves are expected to break all attendance records as the travel season opens for 1946."
