Why this spot
1860-1940 coal mining town
A coal camp opened by the LDS Church in 1860 that became the Grass Creek Fuel Company town during the Park City silver boom, with stone homes, a business district and a Chinatown served by narrow and standard gauge railroads. Markets dried up after 1931 and the mines and railroad closed by 1940.View source →
