The Kansas Underground Salt Museum - Part 2



I am here to tell you the rest of the story.  If you don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about, click here.

Anyway...

First stop was the mining gallery - where we learned about all aspects of the mining process used in the early 1920’s, 30’s, and so on. Over the past decades, numerous no-longer-used items have accumulated throughout the mine, creating sort of an ever-expanding time capsule. Included in those items is several equipment used during those early time periods. Some vehicles are at least 70 years old. Miners would purchase a vehicle needed in the mine, disassemble it to take it down, weld it all back together once in the mine, and then abandon the vehicle/equipment once it was no longer in working order. The miners have a saying, "what goes in the mine … stays in the mine".
