Garrison is a small, friendly railroad town in the Piney Woods along US‑59 that makes a comfortable, low‑stress base for multi‑week travel therapy assignments—think quiet, affordable living, a tight-knit community vibe, and easy drives to scenic outdoor spots to recharge between shifts.
Bigger‑city options are close enough for nights out or errands: Nacogdoches is about 18 miles away and Lufkin roughly 40 miles, both offering more restaurants, shopping and regional medical services.
