Josie's Beauty Salon

Syracuse's nickname as “The Salt City” is just one of the stories you'll uncover when you visit the Salt Museum. The facility was built with timbers from an actual 19th century salt warehouse. The venue explains how in the mid-1800s, “boiling blocks” were used to boil salt water and evaporate the brine which left the salt behind. Syracuse went on to become the national leader in the production of salt, and the museum traces the many aspects of this unique area history. Visitors can see artifacts and attractions like wooden barrels, kettles, a saltworkers “neighborhood” and a full-scale reproduction boiling block.

For artists, the moment when the inspiration strikes to create something truly special can never be predicted. That's why it is crucial that every artist be as prepared as possible for the muse to strike his creativity by having all of his necessary supplies and tools on hand from The Art Store. This is the largest selection of art supplies in central New York and offers items from Princeton Brush, Xacto, Golden Acrylic, Prisma Color and hundreds of others. So make sure you're ready the next time you are moved to create by getting everything you need from the Art Store!
