Granite Ghost Town
“When the horse drawn wagon was photographed in 1903, it was on its way to Granite, a silver mining town. My grandmother, Florence McLeod, worked in the Post Office there and was being courted that year by my grandfather, John Henry Burns. The wagon, heavily laden with a boiler part, was drawn by horses harnessed four abreast, both fore and aft the wagon. John and Florence married the next year and moved to Wolf Creek, where John ran the Burns General Store and they raised seven children.
Today, Granite is touted as Montana’s best-preserved ghost town.”
