Here at Chin Fleming Harris Luxury Resort Real Estate, we love a good walk.

Park City’s rich history lives on indefinitely at the Glenwood Cemetery, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the final resting place of 949 souls that offer a glimpse into the town’s silver-mining beginnings. The Glenwood Cemetery Tour is another offering from the Park City Museum. During the tour, you’ll be transported back in time to 1885, when the cemetery was established. You’ll experience the stories of miners and their families through the old, weathered tombstones, and you’ll learn about the earliest generations of Parkites who dealt with danger, illness, and ultimately death due to harsh living and working conditions
