The Greenwood Museum, Archives & Visitor Centre depicts the early mining and smelting history of Canada's smallest incorporated city. It captures not only the mining history but also the tragic history of the Japanese-Canadians forced off the west coast of British Columbia during WWII. Greenwood was the first internment camp for 1,200 Japanese-Canadians forcibly removed off the 100 mile coastal radius. The influx of so many people brought the little city of approximately 300 people back to a vibrant community. The Visitor Centre welcomes many visitors each year and provides a wide variety of maps, publications and brochures to help visitors plan their vacations.
