Seaside Oregon
The Salt Works site is tucked into a residential neighborhood 15 miles southwest of Ft Clatsop. Clark had scouted the area when he and 5 men blazed the 7 mile Fort to Sea Trail. They continued another 8 miles, along the coast to a Clatsop village at the Necanicum River. On December 28, 1805, Clark sent J. Fields, Bratton, and Gibson to the area to make salt. This is a smaller scale replica of the fireplace and kettles. It's difficult to find from downtown Seaside - south on G Street and right on Lewis and Clark Way.
