Phoenix

In the former town of Phoenix 8 km (5 mi.) away from Greenwood, which for twenty years was one of the richest mining towns in Boundary Country, only two graveyards and a memorial remain. In 1919 Granby Consolidated Mining closed down its copper mine and the people left. When mining was resumed in 1955 the remains of the town disappeared under a giant open-cast mine which was itself closed down in 1978.

Visitors can today visit the area to see this open air display and memorial.
