Tory's Cave (Springfield, Vermont)

Tory's Cave is in Springfield, Vermont, across the Connecticut River from Charlestown, New Hampshire.

The cave has two entrances, one of which has a commanding view of the river.[1][2] The cave contains a room large enough to accommodate several people.[1]

In 1781, Shem Kemfield, a Tory from Charlestown, New Hampshire, and several companions lived in the cave for a short time.[1]
