The Boundary Creek Times is a community newspaper serving Greenwood, Midway and Rock Creek and published by Bennett Publishing Ltd.

Boundary Creek Times has a small office located on Copper Street, the main thoroughfare, in Greenwood. They have on display old typewriters, copies of old newspapers and a bottle of Greenwood's "Best Tasting Water" plus other interesting artifacts.

The newspaper was published between September 1896 and March 1911. Boundary Creek Times was published by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and later by Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), Duncan Ross (1897-1907) was the papers longest editor. The Boundary Creek Times was taken over by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge in April 1911. By 1983, the Boundary Creek Times was revived and it continues to be published to this day."
From the Wiki

Across from the Boundary Creek Times office is a plaque telling some of the history of Copper Street.

Partial Inscription:

Copper Street
During the prosperous years of the late 1890's when copper was king, this street was one of the busiest thoroughfares in the old west, and little wonder, because in those days Greenwood was the capital of the boundary country.

Fully 2000 people called it home and strung out along its two mile by half mile town site more than 100 businesses (including 14 hotels, two newspapers, two banks and a1000 seat opera house) catered to their varied needs. The boom years of mining have gone but Copper Street is still here and so is the city of Greenwood.
