The cave was discovered in 1812. During the Patriote Rebellion of 1837, it served as an armoury, weapons cache, and hidey-hole for Les Patriotes. In 1978, the Quebec Speleology Society opened the cave for study. It was subsequently declared a historic landmark, and tours were set up. Until 2017, the cave was thought to be comparatively small underground structure, at 35 metres long with a depth of 8 metres, however, a second cave was discovered in 2017 which measures 250 metres long. This dimension may be extended with further exploration. Great to visit, good for whole family!
