About Greenback
Greenback is a ghost town in Josephine County, Oregon, with roots in the area's mining era. Like many former mining communities, it faded over time and today exists as a historical remnant rather than an active settlement.
Visitors drawn to ghost towns will find Greenback representative of Oregon's mining heritage, though the sparse historical record means expectations should be modest. The surrounding Josephine County landscape provides the primary draw for those making the trip.
