Discover Corfu: A Railroad Ghost Town and the Historic Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Grant County, WA
Join us as we explore Corfu, a railroad ghost town in Grant County, Washington, born out of the early 20th-century railroad boom. Once a bustling stop along the Milwaukee Road Railroad, Corfu now stands as a quiet remnant of the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who lived and worked here in its heyday.
Just outside Corfu lies the Pleasant Valley Cemetery (AKA Corfu Cemetery), a historic burial ground that serves as a poignant reminder of the pioneers and settlers who shaped the region. Weathered headstones tell the stories of those who braved the harsh conditions of eastern Washington to build a life in this remote landscape.

Many ghost towns, mines and other forgotten historic sites in Washington State have already disappeared from history and many more are being lost each year to the ravages of time, wildfire, vandalism, and intentional closure. In addition to our many years of photographic documentation of these important historic sites we are now attempting to video document as many sites as we can so there is a lasting record of these places for future generations.
We hope you enjoy what we do and will join us on our adventures through a bygone era of Washingtons rich history. Not only do we love the history we explore and document, but we truly enjoy sharing these sites and experiences with our followers and viewers.
