New Milford, United States of America
Tory Cave (or Tory's Cave) is a marble solutional cave near New Milford, Connecticut. The big room has enough space for two dozen people. To protect bat colonies, the cave is closed to the public. Its name is based on a tale from the American Revolution, in which a Tory (a loyalist to the English mo
narchy) hid in the cave. The cave is near the Housatonic River. In 1996, Joe Hurley, writing in the Record Journal, reported that the cave's unique ecology was threatened by blasting from a nearby quarry. The cave is home to a blind shrimp-like amphipod called a Stygobromus.
