Boone's Lick State Historic Site, Salt production historic site in Howard County, Missouri.
The historic site features remains of salt works, including wooden posts along Salt Creek and a large cast iron kettle used for processing.
Nathan and Daniel Morgan Boone, sons of frontiersman Daniel Boone, established a salt production facility at natural springs in 1806.
The surrounding Boone's Lick Country marks the first major American settlement in Missouri, connecting to the Santa Fe Trail development.
The 52-acre protected area offers hiking trails and outdoor exhibits that explain the salt production methods of early Missouri settlers.
Three natural salt springs merge into Salt Creek, creating mineral deposits that attracted both wildlife and early industrial development.
