Greenwood

Historic Greenwood, 90 km (56 mi) east of Osoyoos along Hwy 3, is the “smallest” town in Canada. Incorporated in 1879, Greenwood was once the hub of gold and copper mining in fabulous Boundary Country. Step back in time and visit some of the best-preserved heritage buildings in British Columbia. Here, you’ll find Victorian-era structures and smelter ruins that form much of Greenwood’s culture. This historic setting was the location of Universal Studio’s 1998 movie “Snow Falling on Cedars”. Enjoy the early 1900’s architecture while browsing the shops or taking refreshment at a sidewalk café. The Greenwood Museum & Visitor Info-Centre provides fascinating insight into the towns mining and Japanese heritage. Biking enthusiasts will be glad to know they can access the Trans Canada Trail, which meanders through Greenwood.
