⚰️ The Forgotten Chinese Graveyard: A Journey Unearthed
Uncover the incredible story behind a long-forgotten Chinese graveyard that became a remarkable archaeological discovery in 1996. Thirteen bodies were accidentally found in a backyard, shedding light on the lives of Chinese settlers from the railroad boom or immigrants who arrived after the gold rush. Learn about the artifacts unearthed, including burial stones, an opium pipe, and coffin handles, now displayed at the Carlin Museum.
