BON SECOUR, Ala. — Swift-Coles Historic Home now has a new attraction, thanks to a loan from History Museum of Mobile.

Friday morning, HMM Curator of Collections Holly Jansen and Collections Technician Scott Corcoran delivered a cast-iron salt kettle to the Bon Secour home.

Jansen said not much is known about the heavy object.

"We found it at our warenouse,” she said.

The kettle is a reminder of the area’s history of boiling seawater to produce salt.
