the immigrants new to eastern Utah.
Our half day tour will take us through 8 of Carbon Counties
most famous ghost towns including Castle Gate, Spring Canyon and Kenilworth.
For even more ghost towns, join us for a full day tour
that includes historic railroad stops.
History at the Cemeteries...
"To truly know the history of an area, visit the cemetery."
Half Day or Full Day
Come along
and see why cemeteries are considered museums without walls. Meet Carbon
County's most famous and infamous outlaws, lawmen, wrongly accused citizens,
murder victims and politicians.
The half day tour leads us to the best residents of the
Price City Cemetery, the Helper City Cemetery and the Castle Gate Cemetery.
The full day tour also takes us to the Slovenian Cemetery
and the historic Scofield Cemetery
Carbon County Corruption...
"Every
town has its skeletons and we just happen to know where they are buried."
Like most areas, Carbon County has a long history of corruption.
Immigrant miners were segregated by race, entire ethnic groups were marked
for death by mining companies and Carbon County was the site of the last
vigilanty hanging in the United States. And of course, politicans, cops
and legal types abused their power for their own gains. Join this tour to
see the sights and meet the participants in some of the bloodiest and abusive
history in the west.
Today, local 'authorities' just try to whitewash this history
calling the real events "dangerous allegations of impropriety."
We just happen to have documentation, tapes and photos.
The half day tour takes us to the Price City Cemetery,
the Helper Cemetery and Spring Canyon.
The full day tour takes us across more of Carbon County.
