The third annual Malden Salt Fest takes place 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. September 28, 2019, at the J. Q. Dickinson Salt-Works, 4797 Midland Drive, Malden, West Virginia.
J. Q. Dickinson is run by Nancy Bruns and Lewis Payne, part of the seventh generation salt-making family that harvests an all-natural salt by hand, from an ancient ocean trapped below the Appalachian Mountains of the Kanawha Valley in West Virginia.
This event is free to the public, and will host craftsmen and food vendors from all over Appalachia to celebrate the history of the Kanawha Valley — specifically the history stemming from the salt industry that once again thrives in the valley.
