As for the history of Ruby Falls and the cave, it was said to be accidentally discovered by Leo Lambert upon looking for an alternate entrance to the Lookout Mountain.In 1928, Leo Lambert and a team of excavators found a breathtaking waterfall located over 1,120 feet below the surface of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, TN. Lambert named the falls after his wife, Ruby, and opened the area as a public attraction in 1930. Today, Ruby Falls welcomes thousands of visitors each year. Come tour the falls for yourself and see why it has been one of the best Chattanooga attractions for over 85 years.

The original natural entrance of Lookout Mountain Cave was sealed off due to construction of a railway.

Tourism and Advertising

Lambert decided to open both caves to the public, although Lookout Mountain Cave was closed in 1935 since it was not very popular with tourists, who were much more impressed with the upper cave. Public tours began in 1930. Electric lights were installed in the cave, making it one of the first commercial caves to be so outfitted.Ruby Falls is owned by the Steiner family of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
