Salt Museum

The Salt Museum tells the story of the industry that created the city of Syracuse and supplied the nation with salt. It sits on the shore of Onondaga Lake inside Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool, a fitting place to learn how the region’s salt was made.

Visitors explore the site of an original boiling block, where brine was boiled down into salt. The museum is open seasonally, with free admission. Group and school tours are available during the season for a group fee, and reservations for the coming season open in January.
