Lancaster county in the township of conoy.
From Falmouth, 1 mile northeast on the Falmouth-Elizabethtown Rd. onto a dirt road.

Before 1800 a notorious horse thief known as the Governor established his headquarters here. another legend has it that the cave was visited by Andrew Curtin , Governor of PA form 1861-1867, who took shelter here with his aides during a storm while traveling the Falmouth-Elizabethtown pike on the way from Lancaster to Harrisburg. This is a boulder cave made up of two huge boulders, capped by a third boulder, surrounded by other boulder; it has a convenient natural chimney.
