There is a lot more history in this forest such as, the Rickenbaugh House/post office, it was built in 1874 from sandstone, wallnut and oak. It was in a 'T' shape design. The Rickenbaugh Post Office was open form 1880-1951. The forest service bought the land in 1968 and have already restored the old house for touring. Besides these historical structures the forest consist of several caves and sinkholes to lost underground rivers that can be explored. In some places limestone is a 170 feet in depth, but the land is not just limestone it is plentiful in sandstone and shale as well.
