==In popular culture== In Walt Disney's ''[[Davy Crockett and the River Pirates]]'', [[Davy Crockett]] and [[Mike Fink]] anachronistically fight Sam Mason and his pirates. Also, at Walt Disney World's [[Magic Kingdom]], there is a scene called "Cut-Throat Corner" and "Wilson's Cave Inn" that can be seen on the bank of the [[Rivers of America (Disney)|Rivers of America]] while riding the [[Mark Twain Riverboat|''Liberty Belle'' Riverboat]] around [[Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island|Tom Sawyer's Island]]. This scene is based upon the real life Cave-In-Rock and the activity of river pirates during that time period. A scene of the MGM classic ''[[How the West Was Won (film)|How the West Was Won]]'' was filmed at the cave as well as at Battery Rock.<ref name=DNR/> In 1997, [[History (U.S. TV channel)|The History Channel]] show ''In Search of History'' filmed at the site for an episode entitled "River Pirates". The "ninth book" of Christopher Ward's 1932 novel ''The Strange Adventures of Jonathan Drew; A Rolling Stone'' is titled "Cave-In-Rock". The action is set in 1824. Jonathan rescues two slaves duped into running away and working for a gang of dangerous outlaws who use Cave-In-Rock as their base of operations. The [[Gathering of the Juggalos]] was held in Cave-In-Rock from 2007 to 2013.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://chicagoist.com/article/undefined|title=The Gathering Of The Juggalos Leaving Southern Illinois For Dirtier, More Faygo-Stained Pastures|website=The Chicagoist|access-date=May 13, 2019|archive-date=November 6, 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171106193205/https://chicagoist.com/2013/12/02/the_gathering_of_the_juggalos_leavi.php}}</ref> The multi-day heavy metal festival Full Terror Assault (FTA Open Air) takes place once a year at the Hogrock Ranch and Campground. L. A. Meyer's novel ''[[Mississippi Jack]]'' features the heroine leading an anachronistic raid against river pirates as an homage to the aforementioned Davy Crockett episode. In 2009, artist [[Greg Stimac]] photographed Cave-In-Rock's cave for his series of outlaw hideouts. In 2013, his photograph "Ancient Colony of Horse-Thieves, Counterfeiters and Robbers" was included in ''The Seven Borders'', an exhibition curated by Joey Yates at the [[Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft]].<ref name="Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft">{{cite web |url=http://www.kentuckyarts.org/the-7-borders/ |title=The Seven Borders, Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft |access-date=October 11, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131026073713/http://www.kentuckyarts.org/the-7-borders/ |archive-date=October 26, 2013 |url-status=usurped }}</ref><ref name="Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft_BLOG">{{cite web |url=http://4materiality.wordpress.com/2013/08/ |title=Take Me to the River, Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft BLOG|date=August 27, 2013 }}</ref><ref name="Greg Stimac's official website">{{cite web |url=http://gregstimac.com/#/work:16:hideout/media:275:ancient-colony-of... |title=Outlaw hideouts, Greg Stimac's official website}}</ref>
