On Tuesday evening, The Travel Channel featured a Shippensburg Cave on its latest episode of America Unearthed.  Scott Wolter traveled to Shippensburg to check out the mysterious cave, known locally as Courtney Cave, that may have been a stop on the Underground Railroad.  The cave is located in the backyard of a home near West King and Morris Street.
