We went to the Garnet Ghost Town, right outside of Drummond, yesterday afternoon. Compared to Granite, this town was a lot more preserved. Interestingly enough, this is where the term "arrested decay" was coined. All of the buildings in the town have been restructured and renovated but were done so in a way which has preserved the original look and feel of Garnet. Unlike Granite, Garnet was a drinking town during the prohibitionist era that was home to 1000 people. There were 13 saloons and speakeasies in the town! Fun stuff. Finished off the day with a burger steak at "The Wagon Wheel" restaurant in Drummond.
