Ruby was a silver camp founded after a 1886 strike, with several hundred to a thousand residents, and it briefly served as county seat before the Panic of 1893 emptied it. Only stone foundations and a cemetery remain in the woods, along a state heritage site, reached by rough rural roads south of Conconully.
High-clearance vehicle advised; little is standing, so go for the history and the setting.
