HISTORY & ARCHITECTURE
History buffs will love to learn about Saline's past. The salt springs where the city got its name are over 600 million years old. These springs have been attracting visitors for tens of thousands of years – from Ice Age animals, to Native Americans, to French traders, to the English-speaking settlers who started what has grown into the thriving City of Saline we know today. The Saline Area Historical Society and other community members are devoted to the preservation of Saline’s rich history. Take a step back in time and visit some of their cherished points of interest such as Rentschler Farm Museum, Railroad Depot Museum, and the Weber-Blaess one room schoolhouse.
