Like all caves, Seneca has its own story. We can say that its history started over 460 million years ago. The cave had been used by Seneca Indians for shelter, storage and special ceremonies in the early 14oo’s. The cave was rediscovered in 1742 by a man named Laven Teter on a quest for water to supply his livestock.
