Amazed by its stalagmites and sheer enormity, he purchased the site and began transforming it into Cathedral Caverns, a spectacular tourist attraction that eventually became a national natural landmark in 1973 and a state park in 2000. Had it not been for Gurley's hard work and dedication, this cave, a geological treasure of international renown, might have remained a little-known hole in the ground." -- From cover.Images of America.ChurchCathedral Caverns State Park (Ala.)HistoryPictorial worksAlabamaHistoryPictorial worksMarshall County (Ala.)HistoryPictorial worksAlabamafastAlabamaCathedral Caverns State ParkfastAlabamaMarshall CountyfastChurch.262.02Snow Whitney A.1653143MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826284903321Cathedral Caverns4004264UNINA
