Thank you Garnish for the warm welcome you give the out of town boys working in your beautiful town. The one thing I miss most of all about Garnish are the people.

We saw more of Garnish and the Burin Peninsula than we had seen 41 years ago. I loved our walks at Winterland Trail, Frenchman's Cove, the trail we walked in Marystown, Salts Pond, and the beach outside of Garnish where you walked my legs off! We enjoyed every conversation and had some good laughs.

History

Making A Living

Town Of Garnish

Like most Newfoundland out ports, Garnishmen have a long history of leaving home to find work.  Some of those who did not fish, and there were lots, found work in the employment of the local fish merchants. They worked at curing the fish, packing lobsters and canning salmon.   Most others went where the work was to be found, be it the American Naval bases or the lumber woods.
