Greenwood Cemetery is home to Potter's Field, the final resting place for 1,200 indigent and stigmatized citizens. In 2018, John and Shirley Reaburn supported the creation of a permanent monument, which was unveiled in 2021. Learn about the history of Potter’s Field with guides Aly Boltman and Terri Jackson, who will touch on the unique histories of those buried here.
