Great place to spend the day checking out all the local art. Additional info from Wiki: A mining town named Jerome was established on the side of Cleopatra Hill in 1883. It was named for Eugene Murray Jerome, a New York investor who owned the mineral rights and financed mining there. Eugene Jerome never visited his namesake town. Jerome was incorporated as a town on 8 March 1889. Local merchant and rancher William Munds was the first mayor. The town housed the workers in the nearby United Verde Mine, which was to produce over 1 billion dollars in copper, gold and silver over the next 70 years. Jerome became a notorious "wild west" town, a hotbed of prostitution, gambling, and vice. On 5 February 1903, the New York Sun proclaimed Jerome to be "the wickedest town in the West". In 1915 the population of Jerome was estimated at 2,500.

Ever wonder how a town of 495 people could support a 6 person police force? Easy, they just rob the…read moretourists with bogus municipal codes. This past November while riding through Jerome I was stopped and harassed by the local police department for failure to follow a traffic control device. Guess what? There was no traffic control device to follow. So after making it clear I would be fighting the ticket, they switch charges to unsafe passing on the left. Wrong again, the road was 3 lanes wide and a one way. Needless to say the crooked judge could not let me get away without a shakedown, so she invented a new charge, noise violation under Town of Jerome Municipal Code. Noise violations are completely arbitrary and without any measure of sound, it's preposterous to make such a charge. Needless to say $127 lighter in the wallet I suggest you DON'T support tourist shakedowns. (This is not the first/only shakedown I know of, just the only one that happened to me - standard line, "It's just a municipal code and there will be no points on your licence, just mail the $200 in.")

We were able to park on the street for free, but there is also areas to pay for parking. We spent a few hours walling the town, going in and out of shops, galleries and wineries. Many of the buildings had plaques stating what the building was in the past. A nice way to learn about the history of the town. The views of the Sedona's Red Rock , Verde Valley and the San Francisco Peaks were beautiful. Worth spending a few hours visiting.

Certainly if you are the type that would like to see an old ghost town you should definitely put Jerome your list! I really enjoyed the welcome center, and then the town itself! I won't lie the drive up and down the hill for me was a little stressful. I mean safe but you know if you're afraid of heights I do recommend going but just take your time. Go slow and certainly make sure you drive during the day and leave before sunset heading down the hill. I wish the railings were larger on some parts of the drive up and down the hill, but anyway enough of that. It really is an easy drive I don't want to scare you into not going, but I'm from the East Coast where everything is flat so for me it was a bit stressful lol. The main part of town is only about two or three blocks wide and then maybe I don't know five or six blocks long really fantastic little place! Make sure you hit all of the museums and in the downtown area as well, there were so much fun and learned so much about Jerome It was really easy to do in a half day. You probably only need a few hours in town, maybe two or three hours to walk around maybe add another hour on for a meal. We stopped in a pizzeria, which was absolutely delicious and we were in and out there in 30 minutes and we got to sit at a table in order. Absolutely fascinating place, you might want to start at the welcome center at the very top of the hill to understand the history of the town and to see a three-dimensional model of the entire town before actually heading into the town and parking. You might want to get there a little on the earlier side of the day too, so you could get a parking spot I mean, we had no trouble. We parked in the area around the sliding jail. You might want to look and understand where there's parking before you go, but other than that, you probably could find a spot pretty easy. There are two main streets in the town where many of the buildings have a plaque outside and describe what the building used to be used for back in the old West days. I love just walking along the street, stopping at every historic home and reading about it. I had a great time here! It really made a wonderful trip out to Sedona even better! Highly recommended for a side trip while staying in Sedona, I would travel during the light hours of the day as you will be driving up and down a hillside.

The front 1/3 houses a gift shop of many art pieces etc. There was a $2 pp fee to go back to the museum section.

If you're in Jerome and want to take a deep dive into its history, this stop is a must.
