OLD SALT WORKS
One mile south was located one of the oldest salt works west of the Alleghenies. Here Indians and French made salt, while at a later day Americans established a commercial salt industry which finally attained a production of 500 bushels a day. The industry was abandoned in 1875.
Erected by the State of Illinois, 1935.
