Brookside

Michigan's ghost towns are copper and iron towns of the Upper Peninsula, plus lumber camps the pine barons abandoned.

Brookside Cemetery in Winnipeg, Manitoba holds more than 6500 servicemen and women, includes 470 war graves. The Stone of Remembrance, which was unveiled in 1960 by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission honours the sailors, soldiers and airmen of the Commonwealth who served in both wars and who are buried in Canada.

The on-the-ground condition of Brookside is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Brookside is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
