Garnet Ghost Town, Mining ghost town in Granite County, Montana.
The preserved mountain settlement contains multiple wooden structures, including stores, hotels, and houses spread across an elevation of 6,000 feet.
During the 1890s gold rush, Garnet housed 1,000 residents until a devastating fire in 1912 combined with depleted gold resources led to abandonment.
The National Register of Historic Places recognizes 82 buildings, 46 structures, and 56 sites within the 134-acre Garnet Historic District.
The visitor center operates from late May through September between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM, with an entrance fee of 10 dollars per adult.
Two winter rental cabins remain available from December through April, requiring advance reservations through the Bureau of Land Management.
