Bisbee

The southernmost region of the state is home to the historic copper mining town of Bisbee, Arizona. The town, which has a population of about 5,000, is renowned for its artistic and cultural scene. In addition, Bisbee is regarded as having a high concentration of businesses and organizations that support the LGBT community. When Bisbee was first established in 1880, it was a mining town. The Queen Mine, one of the biggest copper mines in the world, is located in the town, which is situated in the Mule Mountains. In its heyday as Arizona's largest city, Bisbee was incorporated as a city in 1902.

Nowadays, a lot of tourists travel to Bisbee to see the historic town and its copper mines. Numerous shops, eateries, cafes, and art galleries can be found in the town. In addition to numerous hotels and motels, Bisbee also has a number of bed and breakfasts. One of the biggest LGBT events in the state is the Bisbee Pride Festival, which takes place every September. A parade, live music, and a range of vendors are all part of the festival. The Copper City Queer Collective, a group that offers assistance and resources to the LGBT community, is based in Bisbee.

With vintage stores and eateries around every corner, simply strolling through downtown could be a full day trip. Try to set aside at least a few hours to aimlessly wander around; you never know what hidden gems you might find! The Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum is definitely worth a visit if you enjoy history. At the Lavender Pit Mining Overlook, you can get up close and personal with the industry that made Bisbee famous. Without visiting the famous Queen Mine, which was founded in 1915 and produced more copper than almost anywhere else in the world, one simply cannot visit Bisbee.
