Visit an Eerie Ghost Town

Jerome, founded in 1876, was once home to the richest mine in the world. In 1903, this boomtown was dubbed the "Wickedest City in the West," and it was Arizona's top producer of copper, gold, and silver. It is now the largest ghost town in the West and is worth a stop on your Arizona road trip. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1967 and has been meticulously renovated, attracting art enthusiasts who come to explore its numerous studios, galleries, and monthly Art Walk.

Experience the historic ambience while exploring its many attractions, which include distinctive specialty stores, wine tasting rooms, and charming bed and breakfasts. Visit the Jerome State Historic Park to discover more about the lifestyle of wealthy mine owners from a century ago. It is one of the Best Things To Do In Arizona.

The Sliding Jail Park, located near Jerome's Visitor Center, is one of the town's oddest attractions, having tumbled down a steep mountain 200 feet from where it was built. You may also visit the Mine Museum to see historic exhibits or go on a ghost tour to learn about Jerome's eerie side.
