Smelter Town Cemetery (Documentary) 4K

In the forgotten and arid desert lies a cemetery that, without the support of a few volunteers, would be completely abandoned. This is the story of Smetlertown.

Thanks for making the video. I had family there. Its an almost forgotten part of el paso that was very important part of our community.

My great grandfather worked at asarco and died from years of exposure. Very sad

Awesome, just did an investigation there last night.

My neighbor grew up there!

The volunteers still maintain the grounds and repair the Graves and fence. They just added trees. The historical marker will ceremoniously be erected soon. See Willie Cordero on Saturday mornings.
