The historical Salt Marker northwest of the intersection of Main Street and US-50 in South Hutchinson, KS marks the location of the Salt Discovery Well. This display includes picnic tables, several markers and the Salt Discovery Well, where in 1887 Ben Blanchard found the salt that has contributed to the development of Hutchinson. The well has a small structure over it, but the open well head can be viewed through a clear top. A 1,260 pound block of locally mined salt is also on display.
