I had to go into the Bank of America in Sedona, Az because some jerk used my cards for purchases in Michigan thus cards ... cancelled by bank. While in there the sweet woman asked if we had visited Jerome. It wasn't on our list of places to visit but well we detoured as she stated it was a must. What she neglected to say was that it was a narrow, steep road that climbed up and up in order to get to Jerome. As I hate heights I may be exaggerating but my friend did say I was praying as she drove. I didn't realize this ... haha. This old copper mining town was completely worth my brief terror. The views are amazing! Then the town has some very cute shops, wine tasting, art, restaurants, and hotels. The people were friendly and welcoming. It's a place to walk around. You have to experience the "ghost town" on foot. I highly recommend that you add Jerome to your itinerary if visiting this area of Arizona. read more

Loved Jerome! Former mining town that was quite the place to be 100+ years back. Now it is a bit eerie and there's no doubt the town has plenty of stories never to be told. We went to the museum and watched the small movie about the history of Jerome. It was interesting. Walked the streets and enjoyed several shops and chatting with store owners and locals. Lots of artist up her now and tons of art shops. A couple good choices for food. Parking was difficult on a Saturday in summertime. It's not too much cooler up here either so don't assume your escaping the heat. read more

This sleepy little ghost town is super quaint! There are art galleries everywhere make sure you wear very comfortable shoes because there are hills that you need to climb up and down in order to get from one section of the main street to the next. There are beautiful views everywhere, plenty of photo opps. There are supposedly haunted restaurants here in what is called a haunted hamburger and the other one is called the asylum I've been to neither. This trip I went ended up going to a candy store got chocolate covered pretzels the guy was her super cool because he let us charge our camera batteries there but we ended up buying some caramel popcorn and other find candy there. read more

Jerome, Az - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Jerome, Arizona

This little town was awesome! If I'd known how cool it was going to be, I'd have planned on staying longer. We had dinner at The Asylum (MUST DO), we stayed at The Connor Hotel and had breakfast at The Clinkscale. The Theater and other shops are totally worth looking for parking. The views are the most beautiful I've ever seen, even if 89A is the most frightening road I've ever driven on. read more

Jerome, Arizona --- "Mile-High" town historic Jerome is a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite ... Jerome has history; great local bars & eateries; interesting & interactive locals (@ 400+ residents); plus even the tourist visitors are nice ... 2 full-time bars, plus 2 eateries that have full bars where locals can be found interacting with each other ... "Jerome" has a park area called "The Steps" were you can legally drink your favorite pARTy Beverage ... "The Steps" is where about 20 local "outcasts" hang out each day (at different times) and talk & play music ... These outcasts are know as the "Step Children" ... which makes me smile! I met 26 year young "StepChild" Nick who shared some Jerome trivia ... Every year or so the residents get together and take a Jerome group picture ... pretty cool! One is scheduled for May (although Step Children not included ) "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! day 062 "DUSA 2017" (Discover USA) #RunAwayBill #DUSA2017 04.26.17 read more

OMG this town is amazing! Jerome is an old mining town nestled in the hills overlooking the Verde Valley all the way to Sedona. There is nothing but pure history here. The town also pays homage to the booming prostitution that once thrived here as well. Park the car and stroll down the cobblestone streets and walkways. read more

Simply put, Old mining town that is well worth the off the beaten path visit! Surviving after all these years, and even with roughly only 450 residents left, it's the cutest little town ever! Perched on a mountain side, there's several shopping locations, historic bars, town museum, and fantastic views of this mining area that saw its boom years ago!! read more

I love this little town perched on top of the hill. Some of the buildings defy belief that they can stand. A great place to visit and spend some time. This place is a must see if you are in the area. read more

Recently drove to Jerome, parked my vehicle, and started walking to my favorite store as I had for many years, only to learn that they are charging for parking now! I wouldn't have realized it if I hadn't seen an officer writing up a ticket for somebody. The meters/kiosks are not too obvious at all, and I would have been written up too if I hadn't seen this officer! Be careful. I get the feeling they're being a little sneaky! read more

One of our top places to road trip to! Our favorite route is to take 89 from Sedona to Jerome and then up Mingus Mountain and into Prescott. It's a very beautiful drive with fun windy mountain roads. Jerome has so many great photo ops, old buildings, good eats, art galleries, and spooky ghost tours. We also stop to see the man blowing glass. A little pricey to shop but it's nice to window shop as well. Overall, a must stop place to visit! read more

Great little town to visit in Arizona. I will visit again. Great restaurants and art galleries and state park.

There is much to see and much to do in this town and I barely got to see any of it! It is a small town but it packs a big punch. There are wineries, breweries, little shops, restaurants, a ghost town, and limited/difficult parking. read more

What a disappointment. When I heard we were going to a ghost town, I did not expect every building to be occupied by tourist trap stores. Seriously, this is not worth the trip. There must be some real ghost towns in AZ, and this is not it. A town cannot be a ghost town if every building is occupied. Even the old theater, which houses a museum upstairs, is a tourist shop on the ground level. Even the original restaurant has expanded so that only a small portion remains of the original. Go online, look at pictures of Jerome buildings from the outside and you get the ghost town experience. You want to go to tourist trap stores, then yes, go to Jerome. read more

Love love love Jerome nice get away for the day or over night. Cute unique shops, friendly shop owners. Great views of the valley. Nice restaurants, bars all around good time. read more

Jerome is an awesome little town with lots going on. There is tons of shopping anywhere from nice artsy places to your typical touristy stuff. There are tons of great local restaurants and bars. The old copper mining town is full of history and stories. It's a great day trip from Phoenix or if you are staying in Sedona or Flagstaff. With the town bing built on the side of the "hill" parking and driving is tight, everything is easily walkable. A great little place to explore and the views are awesome! read more

Hard to believe I've lived in the Verde Valley for more than 30 years. When I arrived, Jerome was pretty dilapidated and forgotten, Gradually, investors and entrepreneurs recognized its potential and started remodeling and rebuilding things. It's quite inviting now with lots of interesting shops and more than decent eateries and bars. Great place to spend a day although parking can be challenging. Offering spectacular views of Sedona and the Verde Valley, but wear comfy shoes because there are steep grades and climbs in places. A great place to stop on your way to or from Prescott. read more

Must give it 5 stars for outstanding human kindness shown by its manager James Pantoja. We didn't quite make it inside because as were heading through the parking lot our little boy a toddler starting crying and we decided to sit down on the bench right before your walk in. I took out my phone/wallet to check out Jerome on the internet and because our little boy wasn't having it we decided that we wouldn't be able to go and in the the rush to get him back to the car l left my phone on the bench. Didn't realize I left it until two hours later in Phoenix, called it and the manager James answered it and told me a lady found it on the bench! I was so thankful and asked what time they close (thinking I'll have to drive back another 2 hours and round trip 4 hours) James asked where I was (told him Phoenix) and to my surprise he told me that he was heading that way home and that he be happy to drop it off!!! I couldn't believe it. What a nice guy. So refreshing in this world where so many time people wouldn't care. Sure enough we met at a Starbucks off the 10 freeway as he timed his trip, went in and he handed me phone/wallet with EVERYTHING still in it!!! Any place that employs good people like that is worth visiting. read more
