Mammoth Cave National Park

Jerry Bransford is a fifth generation Bransford cave guide. His great-great-grandfathers— Materson Bransford and Nicholas Bransford—were both enslaved men and brought to Mammoth Cave from Nashville, Tennessee, to become two of the park's first African American guides in 1838.

Events will begin at the outdoor amphitheater near the Camp Store with an interpretive talk that discusses the importance of the night sky environment to plants, animals, and humans.

Mammoth Valley Park is currently open to guests with a grand opening scheduled for August 3.

The annual ceremony is a partnership between the National Park Service and U.S. Immigration Services to welcome and expose new citizens to their state's National Parks system.

The beauty and history of Mammoth Cave National Park will be set to music this weekend. World-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma will join the Louisville Orchestra for two special concerts on Saturday inside the cave system.

Events are planned during the celebration April 15-22.

The concert inside Mammoth Cave this spring is part of what the Louisville Orchestra is calling its “In Harmony” statewide tour.
