The name “Whispering Cave” comes from the acoustic effect: a whisper at one end could be heard across the recessed cave span.

For over a century, this quarry supplied limestone used in constructing iconic structures like the Ohio Statehouse and Ohio Stadium. The area also holds cultural significance, having been a workplace for many Italian immigrants who settled nearby.​

Cedar Falls itself has a long natural history and is part of the broader Hocking Hills region, which is known for its geological features, including sandstone cliffs, caves, gorges, and waterfalls.
