Time, it seems, stands still in Roslyn
Observers predicted Roslyn would become a ghost town when the last mine shut down in 1963. Instead, it became a time capsule of the 1920s, the last decade of prosperity before the decline of King Coal.
The Roslyn Revisited series takes you back to a time when Roslyn was the center of the largest mining field in the Pacific Northwest - a bustling self-sufficient town of 5,000 in the heart of the Cascades. Learn about their snowbound winters, mine disasters, progressive school system and the wild years of Jonesville, a company town a few miles north.
