  • It's amazing to see this small jail below a public parking area. the jail slid down the hill due to the mining in the area.

  • I love that they don't embellish the history of this little jail. They clearly state that the jail was moved to its final resting place to clear the road it had landed on when it quit moving on its own. It appears that there have been some efforts to preserve the jail, but if they do not take further measures there may be nothing left to see but a pile of rubble. So if this is something you would like to see, get up here while you can.
  • Jerome's hospitality never fails; from an overnight stay at the Conner Hotel to a historical visit to the Douglas Museum or just walking down Main Street reading all of the historical plaques placed throughout the town, a visitor will never be disappointed. There are restaurants bars and specialty shops galore to keep you in Jerome for an entire day. All of these wonderful things to do topped off with the friendliest people and a million dollar view of the surrounding mountains and valleys, you're missing one of Arizona's wonders of the world if you miss it. Oh and I tell you, Jerome is the largest GHOST TOWN in our country! Come for a visit, if you dare!
