Event Details

Sixty five stories below the ground of Hutchinson, Kansas sits a massive salt mine with salt veins stretching from Kansas all the way to New Mexico. It is also the site of possibly the world's oldest organism.

 

In the tour of the Underground Salt Museum one can see the piece of salt crystal where the bacteria was found, as well as take the "Dark Ride," a tram tour of the mine. Though off limits to visitors the mine also stores government records and thousands of Hollywood films such as the master prints of Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz and has a small exhibit about what other secrets are stored in the museum.

DETAILS AND DIRECTIONS
