The
Jerome Historic State Park traces the history of copper mining in
Jerome, AZ. Once a city with a population of 15,000, Jerome became a virtual ghost town when the United Verde Branch copper mines of the Phelps Dodge Corp. closed in 1953. Since then, shops, galleries, studios, and museums, some housed in former brothels and saloons, have been established in the restored town which clings to Cleopatra Hill on the side on Mingus Mountain.

| This is a shot looking down 1900' through a glass floor over the top of the shaft. No words can describe this view. |
