Dig It!
Well worth a visit if you happen to find yourself in east-central Kansas, the Strataca salt mine/museum is so far from the pale of most people’s everyday existence that it can’t help but astound.
Machinery (in pieces) is sent down over 600 feet below the surface where it is re-assembled and then, when it finally wears out, abandonded—there is plenty of room and no economic incentive to return it to the surface.

That reminds me of SubTropolis in KC.
SubTropolis looks like heaven compared to Strataca
Yes, SubTropolis is a series of limestone caves, huge. Very strange to be in there - as you drive to where you are going, you see all sorts of 'stuff' stored there: antique cars, boats, dry goods, food, etc.
