If you needed another reason to visit Mammoth Cave National Park, here it is: the park is on track to expand with an additional 551 acres of forest, cave entrances, and wildlife habitat to the world’s longest cave system.🦇
These lands sit within the biodiverse Green River watershed and include caves rich with prehistoric and historic artifacts. They’re also home to important bat habitat and beautiful stretches of Kentucky forest restored through years of stewardship.

More land protected means more trails, more history to discover, and more room for nature to thrive. Whether you’re hiking, paddling, or touring the caves, Mammoth Cave is only getting better.

As the Lowcountry prepares for the arrival of softshell crab season, we turn to the archaeological collection to highlight the colonial fascination with this crustacean. Found in the Drayton Hall South Flanker well context, this Imari-style “Crab and Coin” Chinese-export porcelain dates from c. 1700-1760 and originated in Jingdezhen, China. The decoration on this plate fragment was a popular choice amongst English colonists in the North American colonies, undoubtedly because of the abundance of crabs found in the waters of the coastal Atlantic Ocean. The symbolism of the crab and coin, however, held much meaning in Chinese iconography. The crab symbolizes harmony as well as the passing of a civil service examination in Chinese society, the coin indicates wealth, and the peony, which is considered the king of flowers in China, represents high ranking. Taken together, the symbolism represents the wish of wealth and high status for the recipient. While likely a purely aesthetic choice of John Drayton (1715-1779) for Drayton Hall, his collection of Chinese-export porcelains further illustrates his ability to keep up with the changing tastes of the 18th century, purchasing the finest porcelains from China.
