Jerome, AZ

We spent a day exploring the old mining town of Jerome. The town was built into a hillside near a giant copper mine. It is a charming town that has developed into a bit of an art colony. If you go there, do not miss lunch at the Haunted Hamburger. The burgers are great and the drinks huge. Very fun place. The Gold King mine museum up the old dirt road was a huge antique collection. Not a lot of info there on mining. There is another museum that is a state park and another museum in town on Main Street. We did not have time to go to either of those. We did poke around the Audrey Shaft Headframe Park. An interesting side area to the state park.

Haunted Hamburger Restaurant, a must see.

It's either a Bloody Mary or a meal

A bookshelf in the ceiling complete with  books

Gold King Mine Museum.  Lots of old junk.

It's a long way down the Audrey Shaft

Going down?
