On our way home from Oak Creek Canyon we headed back through Jerome, Arizona. It's a small mining town that I've been through a few times, but it's always fun to see. This time Dan & I stopped at the Jerome State Historic Park. We learned about the the history and mines in the Jerome area.
We even stopped at the Audrey Shaft Headframe Park. It was here that we could peer down the mine shaft that was 1,900 feet deep. There was a piece of plexiglass covering the mine shaft, but even than it was a little unnerving to stand over a shaft that deep.
It always amazes me how much personality all of the buildings in Jerome have. The town is small, but there are some very unique buildings.
