After experiencing Salt Therapy across the United States, we knew that we needed to bring this unique, natural healing experience to our very own South Shore community. It is where we feel at peace in our hearts and our souls. This one-of-a-kind seaside community that we call home is where our families spent summers soaking in the salt air and sunshine on the sea wall - where we sailed through the harbor during pink sunsets and starry skies. I hope you enjoy Mike Sandone’s short documentary on The Lost Cave of Monroe.We believe Scituate is truly a magical place. Fortunately, I will be participating in this second trip to a long-lost wonder of Connecticut history. Before the end of 2017 a small group will be visiting the location of the cave to explorer the possibility of putting the mystery of what treasures it holds to rest. Plans are currently in the works for digging out the lost passages of this lost cave. Though the entrance was closed again after it had been explored. A short documentary by local explorer Mike Sandone recorded the event. In 2017 the cave would once again be uncovered. Since then the cave has become a popular legend.
The cave didn’t get mentioned again until the 1960s when the nuns that had owned the property at that time had the entrance of the cave was blown up by the Army Corp of Engineers. Perry suspect that these tales might be stretched from the truth, he felt the cave was noteworthy for his book. It was named the Kings Ballroom, and Plumb had some seats and tables carved from the stone. The current lore of the cave said that Plumb eventually uncovered a chamber that could fit 75 people. He mentioned it briefly in a chapter on Caves in Connecticut. The cave wasn’t mentioned again until the 1940s, Local author Clay Perry would mention the cave in his book New England’s Buried Treasure. Others were still waiting to be uncovered. One of the chambers found by Plumb was 20 feet long, by 10 feet high and wide. Plumb Hired workmen to clear the passages that were currently filled with dirt and rock. Hoping to uncover the other passages that were previously explored Sharp, Mr. Plumb began offering guided trips into the cave. Outdoor exploration was popular with vacationers at the time, so Mr. Still, he believed that he had found a true treasure. He believed this was due collapse that had happened since Sharps journey. He found he could only travel 60’ into the cave. The current land Owner Henry PlumbVictorian Vacation rediscovered the caves on his property. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that the cave came to the public’s attention again. In the 1820s the cave was mined for Silver and limestone, but the ore acquired from it proved to be very poor quality. What exactly he saw would remain a mystery. The story goes on to say that with 400’ of rope, Sharp explored the cave as far as safety would permit. Tradition says that an adventuresome man named sharp stumbled onto a treasure hidden in a hillside of Monroe Connecticut. It has most likely been the inspiration for many young boys to explore the deep forest during those warm summer days.
Rumors of a lost cave in Monroe Connecticut have circulated for a long time.
