Hidden down a quiet side street in the coastal town of Seaside can be found one of the very smallest National Park Units. The Lewis and Clark Salt Works are nestled behind the dunes amidst vacation homes in a square of native shrubbery. This little island in a sea of modern development marks the place where the Corps of Discovery built a furnace from rocks with which to boil sea water and harvest salt. This provided the seasoning and preservatives they needed to sustain them through the cold and rainy winter of 1805.
