I am doing a project in school called the Washington County project. My goal is to write as much information about each of the following places in Washington County: Washington County airport, Children's Village, WCRH, YMCA, Washington Monument, Appalachian Trail.C&O Canal, Sideling Hill, Crystal Grottoes, and Wilson's Store and Wilson's School. This is Outside Hagerstown. We are doing this project to learn about Washington County. Goodbye!

Crystal Grottoes

This is a formation in the shape of a king sitting down on his throne. 

This is a cool part of the caverns.

This is what they called the "drapes".

This is a exciting looking texture.

                                                        This is a cool looking formation.


These are some other "drapes". They are a type of stalactites.


This is a very pretty texture!

This is a interesting view in the cavern.


This is me in Crystal Grottoes.

Crystal Grottoes was first seen in September 18, 1920 when some people were trying to make the first paved road in the USA. They put a dynamite underground to help them. The dynamite did many crazy things. One thing they discovered was Crystal Grottoes. Grottoes means Caverns. This happened in Boonsboro. Spelunkers are people who worked with the grottoes. The important thing about the Grottoes is that it's a beautiful creation of our God. Crystal Grottoes is in Boonsboro,Washington county, MD.

They will NOT let you touch the formations, or they won't grow.
