Tory's Cave (New Milford, Connecticut)
Tory Cave is a marble solutional cave near New Milford, Connecticut.
While it is of modest size it is said to be the only true cave in Connecticut. 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 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.
