Monroe offers a large variety of community services:
* A wonderful amenity of this walled-off community is their local bar - “The Whiskey Rose”. A favorite for Monrovians after a hard day of work and a feature that brings in visitors from all over the Barrens, Monroe keeps its bar well stocked and offers top-notch service to its patrons. There is also an inn attached to the bar in order to house any visitors to the evolving town.
* A crop field of potatoes is gingerly cared for by the town’s agricultural team, complemented by gardens of various vegetables that are pickled and dried to keep Monrovians fed. Monroe also offers a stable to store the horses of visitors and Monrovians alike.
* A butcher’s shop operates in town, hanging and quartering livestock and hunted wildlife. The butcher also dries and salts meat to preserve it, helping Monroe get through the winters. The butcher shop also has cheese making facilities.
* A schoolhouse exists for the children of Monroe to be educated, both in old-world knowledge and in survival skills necessary to this brave new world.
* A community center is open to citizens and visitors alike, with many recreational and productive facilities such as a library, a kitchen, a spa, arts and crafts, tv room, fitness room and therapy offices.
* Monroe’s diligent security team operates near the front gate, with a secure jailhouse ready to house anybody who dares to cause trouble.
* A workshop houses Monroe’s construction equipment, providing a place for the construction team to plan expansions and prepare builds.
