Field Trip Friday~The Only Underground Salt Museum in the U.S.A.

If you read last week’s field trip post, you know that my grandparents have been visiting. We had already taken a few four generation field trip in Kansas. However, we went on one final trip this past Sunday, to the one and only USA Underground Salt Museum. This field trip was awesome. We learned about types of salt, what colors it, how to shine it up, and different tools to mine it.

I think one of the cutest things, is toddlers in those little hard hats.

My children really enjoyed seeing the old equipment used to mine the salt, and seeing a bit of red salt.

There was some evolution in several of the posters and one of the guides talked about it a bit, but my children got the, “they are so lost” looks on their faces and we went on.

If you are in the Kansas area, I highly recommend this field trip, but know it is a bit pricey.
