The SaltPalace, a small one-story building in downtown Grand Saline, is constructed of local salt blocks.
The most recent SaltPalace was built in 1993, replacing one built in 1975, which replaced the original SaltPalace constructed for the 1936 Texas Centennial.
Every SaltPalace visitors takes home a souvenir salt crystal, perhaps to discourage them from licking the building walls, which is reported to be not all that uncommon.
