Dawson Cemetery

You are here Home  > Cemeteries >  Dawson Cemetery

The ghost town of Dawson was once a large coal mining town. In the early 1900’s, a decade apart two separate mining disasters struck the town, and killed more than 400 men. The cemetery is filled with crosses that mark the graves of these men, row after row stretching up the hill.

      The video shows the lines of white crosses put up where the remains of miners killed in two separate mining disasters at Dawson are buried. Not sure if the miners were identifiable or not
