The Blaine County Journal News-Opinion - We've Got The County Covered

This is a view from the footpath that leads down to the commercial district of the old mining town of Garnet. Most of the buildings facing the camera were built in the late 1890's when the town flourished and survived a fire in 1912 that destroyed many of the existing businesses. For all practical purposes Garnet, about 30 miles east of Missoula on MT Highway 200, became a ghost town in the late 1940's.
