10Garnet, Montana
This town was named after the gems discovered with the gold there. Founded in the 1860s, half the town was burned down in 1912. The gold had withered away, so it was abandoned.
Today over 30 historic buildings remain intact. If you visit in winter, you can rent one of two cabins. Visit in June and you can attend fun and festive Garnet Day.
