Lewis & Clark Saltmakers Return
ABOUT
The event site will be on the Seaside beach west of the Avenue U and Prom intersection.
Visitors to the program will enter the camp and find members of the PNLH busy making salt, as they boil sea water over a fire just as the men of the Lewis and Clark expedition did in 1806. The interpreters will also share the history and stories of the legendary expedition with everyone who comes to the beach.
Lewis and Clark Saltmakers Return is a free, interactive learning opportunity for the whole family. This event is sponsored by the Seaside Museum and presented by the PNLH.
This program is also supported by the Sandy Cove Inn, Owsley Wood services, Seaside Public Works, and Oregon State Parks and Recreation.
Guidelines regarding open fires will be followed.
LOCATION & ACCESS
The Saltmakers site will be on the beach at Ave U, about 100 feet west of the Prom.
There is a public parking lot at the end of Ave U though spots fill up quickly. We recommend walking or biking!
Seaside now has a Mobi-Mat at Avenue U which allows easy access to the beach if you are restricted to a wheelchair or have a walker or stroller.
The Seaside Museum depends on support from our visitors to continue preserving our local history!
Souvenir salt available at the museum store.
$4.00 each
