Tuesday Tidbit—Amedee Lime Kiln Update

Amedee Lime Kiln, January 26, 2020

An astute reader, asked an astute question. Why the kiln, and where did the lime come from?  Very good questions, indeed. Lime is found in rock deposits of calcium carbonate, which the rock has to be heated to extract the lime.

It should be noted, there is an interesting lime kiln remnant near the Wendel Hot Springs, but as it is on private property not accessible to the public.
