On July 9, 2011, Berome Moore Cave was dedicated.  This dedication was the final step of a lot of hard work by cavers with the Middle Mississippi Valley Grotto and the Missouri Cave and Karst Conservancy.  Berome Moore Cave,with access to her 17+ miles of passage, is now protected.  If you have any questions about the cave please contact the Middle  Mississippi Valley Grotto.  

Below are several pictures from the event.
