About this park
Jerome State Historic Park sits on a hillside above the old copper-mining town of Jerome, once one of Arizona's richest boom towns. The centerpiece is the Douglas Mansion, built by mining magnate James Douglas and now home to exhibits on the area's mining history. Displays cover the mines, minerals and daily life of the miners who worked here. Outside, the park offers wide views over the Verde Valley, and the setting shows how a once-booming town clung to a steep mountainside. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for youth, though prices may vary. Combine your visit with a walk through Jerome's art galleries and historic streets.
