The Dahl Saloon
The Dahl Saloon, often called "The Joint" by locals, was built by Ole Dahl in 1938.
It stands on the site of a log saloon/restaurant that was run in the late 1800's
by Mel Stairs. When Mel left, Charlie Davis, a teamster who owned a livery stable
and drove ore wagons, took over. His saloon was lit by showy but dangerous gas lamps
that resembled slide trombones. However, it was a fire that burned down his saloon,
not his gas lamps.
Ole Dahl's Saloon operated until the middle of the 1960's. It was run on electricity
generated from the Dahl's electric light plant. It is now the site of Garnet's Visitor Center.
