Not as Simple as it First Appears
Anyone who relocates to Garnet and receives government benefits is occasionally required to work at the local gift shop or provide tours for tourists. Quite simple, huh? Seems like a fair price. But this community is not as simple as it first appears. Nobody seemed to be interested in relocating to Garnet for a reason.
History of the Town
The ruby-colored stones in the vicinity served as the inspiration for the town’s name. These were prized even though they weren’t “precious stones.” The hilly regions surrounding Garnet were more alluring because to their abundance of quartz rocks that could produce gold. People from all across the nation came there in the 1800s to get a piece of the action. The town once had a population of over 1,000 people a century ago. What then became of them all?
