Daniel Gumb was a local man who carved a cave into the rock for he and his family to live in so he could avoid paying taxes. He was a mathematician and an astronomer and carved patterns into the rock which you can still see.

Sadly this isn't his cave, dug in the early 1700s but a memorial to him created by local stone workers when his cave was destroyed by mining in the quarry. Daniel Gumb lived here until he died age 70. He had 13 children and three wives, a large number of people to fit in a cave of just 9m by 4m.
