The Melrose Caverns and Harrison Farmstead is a historic property in rural Rockingham County, Virginia. It is located at 6639 North Valley Pike (United States Route 11) north of Harrisonburg, Virginia. The property includes a series of caves that have long been a tourist attraction, including visits by soldiers of both sides during the American Civil War. It also includes a c. 1859 Greek Revival farmhouse, and numerous agricultural outbuildings, one of which is a log-structure summer kitchen that may be as old as 1820.[1]
Scheduled commercial tours of the caverns were conducted until the 1980s,[2] ; they continue today by reservation.[3]
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
