Our family came to Arizona for our nephews wedding at Red Rock Crossing. We were based at Suprise and various people recommended that whilst we were over here we should visit the old town of Jerome. Having spent nearly two hours driving to Jerome the question we were all asking ourselves was "Why would anyone recommend this place?". It is... More

this quaint little town everytime I am close by. Just wish some of the stores would have been opened. It was Friday morning about 11 am and some were still closed.

The home has been well cared for, each room is decorated in period furnishings and explained thoroughly. The history of the owner is amazing and the home has come pretty unusual features. Well worth the time!

I hate to say anything about this town because it is a tourist destination, but I feel that I need to share some info that may help others. This town is not unlike the town of Tombstone in that it was once a thriving, old western town that has now been made solely as a tourist stop for those who... More

Me, wife, two sons, girlfriend, and grand daughter decided not to sit at home. Drove to Prescott Upper Goldwater Lake and did the easy 2 mile hike along the lake, then had a picnic lunch. ($2 parking fee). It was a bit crowded due to Memorial day but we had no expectations and it was enjoyable. Then we took SR... More

One of our favorite day or overnight trips is to the old mining town of Jerome, Arizona. After hiking we drive up the hill to this historic town for dinner and a glass of wine. The town has been revitalized having gone from ghost town, to hippie town, to hip little destination. There isn't a lot to do in the... More

We stopped here to break up our drive back to Tucson. It was well worth it. The museum has excellent exhibits and a lot of information about the town and its mining history. The town's tourist section didn't interest us, we just drove around and out again.

The Douglas Mansion is over 8000 sq ft. It had a central vacuum. It is made of adobe so is nice and cool inside. Kids really liked the fluorescent minerals and the 3d model of Jerome. It was neat to see all the tunnels under Jerome. It is riddled with them. Families were picnicking outside on the grounds. Very informative... More

Although this is geared more to the history of this old mining town it was worth the trip for the scenery. Got to view an old mine shaft that is 1900 feet down. You can visit through the museum as well as just walk the grounds and if it is clear enough you can see the San Francisco Peaks in... More
