A Salt Museum in Texas?

Today, I visited the Salt Palace Museum in Grand Saline, Texas. The museum tells the story of the salt industry in the town and how it was a major contributor to its growth. I learned that the town has the largest salt dome in the western hemisphere, and that over the years, salt mining has been a major industry here. The museum had a variety of exhibits on the process of salt mining, from the early days of pick and shovel to the modern era of machinery. I was fascinated to learn that salt can also be used for other things, such as livestock feed and water softening. I found this place very interesting because I have never seen a museum dedicated to salt before, and the experience gave me a unique insight into this community's history.
