"Caverna is located near the Arkansas line on Little Sugar creek and has a water mill and store. This has been a mill site for the last fifty years or more. The water power is fine and capable of running more than ten times the machinery it now operates. Should a rail road ever be built through that part of the county it is liable to become a flourishing little town. The post office was established here about 1867. There are numerous caves in this vicinity, some quite extensive, and the name was derived from them."

an excerpt from the "Illustrated History of McDonald County, Missouri, from the Earliest Settlement To the Present Time" - Judge J. A. Sturges, 1897

The few that I know of in the area are all along the highway and the entrances are barred. However I'm certain there are areas of interest along Little Sugar Creek and in the uncultivated areas behind the walmart in Pineville. Anyone know of anything of interest in the area?
