Salt Mine

Victor the salt miner!

Hutchinson is known as the salt capital of the world. The elevator, built by Germans, takes visitors down 650 feet or 200 meters. 





Salt is mined and used mainly to thaw ice  on roads. The area that has been mined is then used to store medical records, government records and film industry memorabilia.  The temperature stays at a constant 68 degrees or 20 Celsius.
