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.
Marker is at the intersection of Washington Street (Pennsylvania Route 286) and West Penn Trail, on the right when traveling east on Washington Street.
