REAMES CAVE. 



Thomas M. Hills. 



Reames Cave is also called Mount Tabor Cave, because of 

 its location in Mount Tabor. It is on the Reames farm and 

 owned by the Reames family, who wish it called by their name. 

 For these reasons the title name was adopted. 



The Cave lies along the northern border of Champaign 

 county, in the west central part of Ohio. It can be reached 

 most easily, by way of the Big Four Railroad or the Ohio 

 Electric Railway, from West Liberty, a small town four and a 

 half miles to the northwest. 



Mount Tabor is an elevation 1278 feet above sea level 

 along the eastern side of the Mad River valley. It lies between 

 that river and the prominent moraine of the Late Wisconsin 

 ice sheet that forms the eastern side of the valley from Belle- 

 fontaine southward. 



The Cave is located at the northern end of a ridge which is 

 partly limestone and partly glacial drift. This ridge is a mile 

 and a half long, a half mile wide and eighty feet above the 

 stream beds to the east and west of it. It is of topographic 

 importance because somewhat isolated from the high morainal 

 ridge to the east which would otherwise overshadow it. This 

 isolation is partly due to the present drainage of the region 

 and partly to preglacial erosion.
