Bullitt's LickSite of early commercial salt Gen. Custer on Walking Tour production from Salt Flats remaining from the Ice Ages. Many animal trails converged in Bullitt County at various salt licks. Bullitt's Lick was the site of the first commercial industry in Kentucky - salt production. It served all Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee territories sending salt in barrels down the Salt, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers on to New Orleans. The Wilderness Trail made a meandering turn here in Bullitt County to the Salt Licks, becoming the first inland intermodal distribution system for commerce in the western frontier.
