Once we made the winding drive on the narrow road up to the high elevation of Jerome, we found it easy to park and stroll the sidewalkd of this delightful little town. There are several good eating places and shops featuring local goods, but we especially enjoyed the Mine Museum. For a minimal fee, we passed through the swinging door... More

The Jerome Historical Society Mining Museum is located in the former home of James Douglas, who parlayed the United Verde Extension into the most profitable copper mine in US history. The museum contains an amazing array of photos, documents and equipment from the peak years (1915 - 1939) of this mine as well as from the surrounding town of Jerome.... More

Touring throughout this old tiny hillside copper town is a fun day trip to indulge in. Learning about the mining history in the museum is neat for history enthusiasts or anyone interested in knowing how this uniquely placed town was established. Check it out on the way to or from Sedona/Prescott! More

Visited the mine museum before visiting the jerome state park. They are both pretty much insightful, but I think if one wanted to learn about the history of jerome, it would suffice to visit just one of the 2. and I would vote for the jerome state park. the mine museum can be easy to miss, we walked past this...

The photographs and artifacts and history of Jerome proved to be really fascinating, we enjoyed the museum a lot. Well worth going to. More

The historial society should be commended for its... More

At a dollar each for the entry fee, it is a bargain if you enjoy getting to know the area you are visiting. We especially enjoyed the articles on the early lawmen of the town, and the article...

Short day trip from Scottsdale. Beautiful drive 1 1/2 hour. First time to view the beauty of this area. Enjoyed the drive up 89A and the quaint little town. Walked all over and into many shops. the Mine Museum was full of old photos and worth the visit. The weather was so pleasant compared to Scottsdale. Had a very nice... More

I went to this museum when I first got to Jerome to kind of get oriented to the town. The museum explains the mining history of the town, it's boom, and subsequent decline. It isn't very big, but the price is right, admission is about $2 per person. There is a lot of reading, it's too much to really take... More
