Arkansas is known for its many natural wonders, including a number of caves that have been opened over the years for public viewing. One such cave, Diamond Cave, located near Jasper (Newton County), was once a popular tourist attraction open to the public from the 1920s to the mid-1990s. It is known for its colorful stalactites, stalagmites, and columns that run for many miles into the surrounding mountain.
