The Cemetery That Outlived an Entire City

What happens when an entire city disappears... but its cemetery remains? High above Greenwood, British Columbia, the Phoenix Cemetery is one of the last reminders of what was once one of Canada's highest and busiest copper mining cities. Walk among the headstones and you'll find the stories of miners, families, and children who once called Phoenix home. Some visitors even say they've heard laughter... or seen children playing in the field beyond the cemetery. Whether that's local legend or simply the power of a place steeped in history, one thing is certain... The city may be gone, but not all of its stories have been laid to rest. 📍 Phoenix, British Columbia 🎙️ Lost Places. Hidden Trails.
