Salt production started in 1845 by John Jordan and A.T. McGee. This salt deposit is a protrusion from a main salt bed that runs across most of east Texas and western Louisiana at about 4 miles beneath the surface.
This area was once under water. As the seas dried up, layers of salt were deposited . They were later covered as the earth's layers shifted and changed. Volcanic activity or an intense heat, melted the salt, burned fossils and any other minerals. Pressure caused the molten salt to push to the surface.

The machine is located at the entrance to the Museum. Designs are:
1) I Licked the Salt Palace,
2) Salt Palace,
3) Wiley Post airplane, The Winnie Mae,
4) Salt Shaker.
