Description: The entrance to the Cavern of the Skulls at Bledsoe's Fort Historical Park in Sumner County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States. Cave explorers in the 1800s reported human skulls in the cave, suggesting that the cave may have been used to store "trophy" skulls captured by the inhabitants of the Cheskiki Mound village to the east. The cave is gated off and not open to the public.
