Timeless Tuesday #2: The Salty History of Goderich

✨Timeless Tuesday #2: The Salty History of Goderich

Continuing our series of articles about our town, this month the Goderich Bicentennial Committee looks at the discovery of salt on Goderich.


If you haven’t heard it before, Goderich is home to the World’s Largest Salt Mine, and our salt mine story begins back in the 1800s.

To learn more, follow the link to view a short video for a tour of the current mine and current evaporation process: https://youtu.be/Xt7GzKiAqBs. And make plans to attend the Salt and Harvest Festival, September 3-6, 2026. You can find more information about the festival here: https://www.saltedgoderich.ca/festival.

Stay tuned for next month’s Timeless Tuesday Feature!
