: The Retsof salt mine provided jobs for locals for more than 100 years, and even to the present day, salt mining is a generational industry for many Genesee Valley families.

In this image, taken circa 1890s-early 1900s, men at the Retsof plant pack heavy bags of salt. Others worked deep underground, excavating and transporting salt to the surface. It was difficult and often dangerous work, but the jobs attracted locals and new arrivals alike, especially those from Italy who were looking for opportunities in America.

Near the Retsof mine, the company town for workers came to be known as Little Italy, a tight-knit settlement of men and their families. Little Italy was a busy community from the 1880s to the 1930s, and descendants of the original residents still live in the vicinity. Although Little Italy's homes are now gone except for their foundations, the site is open to visitors as a nature preserve managed by the Genesee Valley Conservancy.

❄️Snow is coming!❄️

Winter Ready—The “Mountain of Salt”: The hard working folks at American Rock Salt near Mount Morris, NY are ready for whatever winter brings here in the northeast—captured this the other day. They have tons of processed rock salt at the ready and can mine anywhere from 10,000-20,000 tons of salt per day. Trucks come and go, a train too, transporting the salt to municipalities across the Northeast. Generations of folks in this area of New York State have been working the salt mines around here since the late 1800’s and the days of the Retsof Salt Mine. This here is the largest producing salt mine in the United States.
