Sandon is a small ghost town
just out of New Denver. It was built, destroyed, and rebuilt many
times. It is currently being rebuilt again. During World War
II it was used as a Japanese relocation camp, but the weather proved too
severe even for that awful use. The next year the inhabitants were
moved to a more moderate climate.

Sandon is home to the oldest
operating electrical power plant in BC. Those tubes on the wall are
Cedar pipes. Tours are available and are well worth it. |
It is a tad noisy,
but very interesting.
