Sounds like a treat, yes? Well it does promote a natural wonder that lets visitors savor the stratum underneath our earth’s crust like layers of a dessert. Mammoth Cave National Park is known to have the world’s longest cave system with more than 400 miles explored and mapped to date. It’s in the south-central region of the Kentucky Commonwealth, and offers above ground draws as well, like bicycling, boating, horseback riding, hiking, and fishing. With a deep, diverse history of human, animal, and plant life, it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981, and then an International Biosphere Reserve core region in 1990. Activity in the cave system itself delves so far back in time as to be prehistoric, but after it was ‘rediscovered’ in 1798 it immediately became one of America’s first big tourist attractions. National Park status came in 1926, yet the orders for mass produced promotional items likely would not have started in earnest until the park was fully established in 1941. Gift shops stocked quantities of pieces like this miniature mug to sell to tourists of the Kentucky-based natural treasure. The condition of the piece we offer here is very good, with no chips or scratches and no fading of the transferware letters or imagery. So go deep on your love of miniature collector’s mugs, especially if you are a spelunker from the Bluegrass State looking for toothpick storage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Used Very Good. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \/ Beverage Related. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: 2.25” diameter x 3.25” high x 3” deep\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Regionals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49537609728257,"sku":"C1SOMAM00093","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3264\/0513\/files\/mammoth-cave-national-park-mini-mug-01-2983.jpg?v=1783451025","url":"https:\/\/theregionals.store\/products\/mammoth-cave-national-park-kentucky-souvenir-miniature-mug","provider":"The Regionals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
