Saltsburg

Indiana County · dedicated 1984 · Washington St. (PA 286) at Canal Walk, Saltsburg

First salt well in the vicinity was drilled, 1813-14. By the 1830's this area had become a leading U.S. salt producer. Important to its shipment was the Pennsylvania Canal's Western Division. The canal crossed here, 1829-1864, and was the lifeline of this small town.
