Points of interest

The Harris Museum and associated artifacts: Museum Locomotive and Historic Water Tower

The plaque mounted on the large rock next to the Harris Museum reads in part: "Headline. Saskatoon Star Phoenix: July 1914 "Quartz Discovered 20 Miles N.W. of Harris" Suddenly the ruby rush was on! Lasting 10-12 days, at its height 3000 people were involved at the sight, staking out claims and digging up stones. Tents housed saloons, restaurants (one egg at 1 dollar), and this rock, guarded by armed guards, containing the so-called rubies. The ruby rush was soon discovered to be a hoax as the rubies were garnets of little value. This ruby rock was moved from its original site in 1990."
