High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wonder Cave is a show cave located in the Balcones Fault in San Marcos, Texas (at 29°53` N, 97°57` W). Its entrance is one mile southwest of the county courthouse in San Marcos. The cave is reported to be the only commercially operated dry-formed cave in the United States ("dry-formed" because the fissure was opened not by erosion but by the earthquake that produced the Balcones Fault). The fault itself is visible in the cave`s ceiling. Originally named Bevers Cave after Mark Bevers, who discovered it in 1893, the cave for a while concealed Bevers` illicit distilling and gambling enterprises.
