| Title | Old Maid's Kitchen, the Gorge, Akron, Ohio |
| Description | This cave is located in Cuyahoga Falls in Summit County, Ohio. The Cuyahoga River carved out the cave approximately twelve thousand years ago. It is in the shape of a room, 30 feet high, 50 feet wide and 20 feet deep in what is now the Gorge Metro Park. Originally, local residents called the cave Old Maid's Kitchen, but the Daughters of the American Revolution eventually renamed the site Mary Campbell Cave after the cave's most celebrated resident. During the French and Indian War (1756-1763), the Delaware Indians captured Campbell. She lived in western Pennsylvania prior to her kidnapping. For seven years, the Delawares kept her as a captive at Chief Newcomer's village, which was located nearby Old Maid's Kitchen, along the Cuyahoga River. Eventually they allowed her to return to her family in Pennsylvania. |
