Garnet ghost town is certainly one of the best ghost towns we’ve come across. You are left to your own accord to roam around freely. Most of the buildings are left open, some even being furnished, giving you an insight into what life would have been like in the late 1800s early 1900s. Join us as we explore this fascinating, best preserved ghost town in Montana. Remember to check your notification bell, subscribe if you haven’t already and give us a huge Thumbs Up - It really helps the channel and is free to do. Thank you, we really appreciate your support.

A nice bit of summer for these cold winter months! Fun explore and video! It's easy see Andrea prefers a man in a kilt and not the college preppy look! I have a hard time imagining the school having a nurse of any kind though. I can remember my grade school with over a thousand students having a nurse, but she also helped run the bookstore and whatever else they needed help with. I had classes in an old 1870s school house and the coat room had an area where problem students were put. Another teacher would come in for a minute to witness a board to bottom exercise and then the student got to sit on a chair for a while and ponder his poor behavior. The tall Victorian ceilings made a really nice echo when the board contacted the butt ... and even though we could not see the paddling ... we heard the results very clearly!
