| | Jerome is an enchanting town, and a photographer's paradise. This historic copper mining town is located high on top of Cleopatra Hill between Prescott and Flagstaff.Once known as the wickedest town in the west, Jerome was a copper mining camp, growing from a settlement of tents to a roaring mining community. Four disastrous fires destroyed large sections of the town during its early history, resulting in the incorporation of the City of Jerome in 1899.From its external appearances Jerome hasn't changed much in nearly 100 years, making Jerome a living ghost town. Many of the buildings used by present-day businesses were rebuilt after the fires of 1894 and 1899. A number of the buildings have been restored and more are planned for restoration. Due to the 30-degree incline of the mountainside, gravity has pulled a number of buildings down the hillside.Once in Jerome, there are many things to see and do. Check out the dozens of unique shops in Jerome, or relax and have a bit to eat, listen to some great music at a saloon, or sit and relax with a glass of wine at Jerome's own Jerome Winery. |  | | | Additional Jerome Websites | |
