The Dunbar Cave Tour Film is brought to you by Friends of Dunbar Cave, Inc. in partnership with Dunbar Cave State Park and One Day Entertainment, Humanities Tennessee and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Directed by Demetrius Hnarakis.
Park ranger John Ball, archaeologist Dr. Jan Simek of UT Knoxville, and indigenous historian Beau Carroll, from the Eastern Band of Cherokee, guide the viewers through Dunbar Cave. The tour views Mississippian dark zone cave art, stoke marks, and previously unprotected, hence vandalized, portions of the cave.
This project entails creating a 360-degree virtual reality film touring Dunbar Cave, making the experience available to those who are unable to participate in a traditional cave tour. The Dunbar Cave Virtual Reality Tour will be available at the park office in late Summer/Fall 2022.

The findings and conclusions of this film do not necessarily represent the views of Humanities Tennessee or of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
