Our Story
Welcome to Strataca, the Kansas Underground Salt Museum, where adventure and exploration meet history and mining. Since opening our doors in 2007, we have become a premier destination for those seeking a unique and captivating experience deep beneath the surface of Hutchinson, Kansas.
At Strataca, we offer an unparalleled journey into the depths of an active salt mine that has been operational since the 1920s. Our tours provide a fascinating glimpse into the history and geology of salt mining, revealing stories that are as rich and layered as the salt beds themselves. As you descend 650 feet underground, you will embark on an adventure that traverses time, showcasing the evolution of mining techniques and the significance of salt in our everyday lives.
