I knew about the Kansas Underground Salt Museum in Hutchinson, but never really had much interest in checking it out… until I found out we could wear hard hats and ride in a trolley. I was sold! So, last week I went with my friend Mel to see what this museum was all about. I left pleasantly surprised.
