Exploring Squaw Cave in Bolton Notch State Park in Bolton Connecticut!

#abandoned #cave #hike You will find a small trail to the left of the entrance of the tunnel. Follow that up and then walk along the highway. Keep your eye on the left and you'll soon fine a decently worn trail up the side of the cliffs. Although its only a few dozen feet up, we found the mud to be especially slick when we went. This cave is visible from the road when driving east and not at all from the west.

The cave also has a love story.

The story of the cave is a bit more romantic than the geology of the area. The story of Wunnee and Peter Hager has a few different versions, but the basic story is that Hager was a cabin boy aboard the ship, Fortune, which sailed up the Connecticut to South Windsor in 1620 to trade furs with the local tribes. Hager loved to explore the wilderness and met Wunnee. They were married in the Podunk tribe way, but at that time, interracial marriages were forbidden. The pair fled into the wilderness and were pursued by a group of Englishmen. A struggle ensued and one of the Englishmen was killed and a bounty was placed on Hager. They made their home in the cave before Hager was shot by bounty hunters and returned to the cave where Wunnee found him dying. When the bounty hunters entered, they found no one in the cave. Some say Wunnee dragged the body from the cave through a rear cavern or passage to the other side of the mountain. Others say they just disappeared. Others believe he was buried in the great Podunk Indian burial ground in East Hartford.
