We stopped to visit this cemetery on our way to Salmo. This was an amazing discovery, as we knew that there are still remaining Doukhobor communities still in the area. There is one centenarian that we discovered and many of the grave stones indicated birth dates to the late 1800s. Most are legible though quite a few are in Russian.
The cemetery is very well maintained and recent flowers and other items seemed to be recently placed. There is a large gate at the entrance, but accessible.
The Boulder Creek Doukhobor Cemetery, as also known as Salmo Doukhobor Cemetery, was established in 1937 by the Salmo Doukhobor Society for its members. It is still active today with 209 interments. The cemetery is approximately 2.5 acres. There are over 50 grave sites without markers.
