Once a Thriving Town
Garnet was actually once a thriving town, and it still had enough mineral riches to draw prospectors and encourage them to stay. But its residents were more concerned with robbing its inside than creating livable buildings above ground. Many of the original buildings were therefore not very sound structurally. Just twenty years after it peaked, its mining sites were all but exhausted, and the people were moving out as quickly as they could.

A Brief Revival
The price of gold doubled around 1934. This resulted in a transient increase in the number of families returning there. One of the most turbulent eras in world history quickly followed this one. People started to leave once more as the effects of World War II became apparent. Remarkably, one of the villagers did not leave.
