Old Timers Reunion (OTR) is the largest annual gathering of cavers (people who share a common interest in caves, caving and underground exploration) in the United States. This annual event occurs once a year at the TRA campground in West Virginia. The first reunion was held in 1950, at the Worden Hotel in Davis, West Virginia, making this the 75th Reunion!
More InfoThe Central Ohio Grotto was founded in 1952. We have a rich tradition of cave exploration and are committed to the ideals of the NSS.
