Interstate Caves are owned by the Reeder Family Trust for 30 years. Those huge caves are a result of limestone mining along 23rd Street. Many years ago this was the valley of a tributary of Blue river. The limestone cliffs were quarried for many purposes, and so there was continual need for more. So mining continued underground, in a simple room and pillar technique. Today there are vast caverns along the 23rd Street, which ofer many positive conditions: low heating, no security issues, no disturbances from outside.
The Interstate Caves are now used by a furniture discounter called By Design Direct. It is managed by Peter Kristensen, a former manager at Danish Inspirations in Overland Park. The curved walls of the caves give a futuristic background to the modern furniture. The store has a size of 2,800m².
