Located high on top of Cleopatra Hill (5,200 feet) between Prescott and Flagstaff is the historic copper mining town of Jerome, Arizona. A unique place to get away from the routiene in our lives.

Considering a stay in Jerome?Jerome has everything a traveler could want! From the historic Connor Hotel and the Ghost City Inn, to the Jerome Grand Hotel, Inn at Jerome, Hillside House and Cottage Inn, there is an accomodation to fit every situation. A overnight stay in Jerome lets the traveler experience what has beckoned people for years to come to Jerome. Many of them ending up living here.

What is the Town of Jerome like today? Is it worth your time to visit? The answer is a resounding yes! Jerome is an enchanting town, and a photographer's paradise. From its external appearances it hasn't changed much in nearly 100 years. Many of the buildings used by present-day business folks are those built after the fires of 1894 and1899. 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 slope. To the delight of some, one of those buildings was the town's jail. Those buildings still standing make for interesting visiting and with a little research you can find their historical significance. One notable section is the "Cribs District." You will find this area across the street from the English Kitchen, in a back alley where all the buildings were are part of Jerome's ill-famed "prostitution row."

At the turn of the twentieth century, the town of Jerome was a collection of houses and buildings, not beautiful, seldom comfortable or durable.
Those who came were willing to put up with conditions for the time. No one expected to die here. Jerome was for making a stake and going somewhere else to spend the easy fortune. It was above all else a mining town. Most of its people were young men drawn by the advantages of steady employment and excitement.

As the 20th century grew older, Jerome became an around the clock, three shift town boasting 13 hotels, 21 bars, and 8 houses of prostitution with names like "The Cuban Queen," and the less elegant "Cribs." Belgian Jenny, the honky-tonk queen of the houses of light love is Jerome's most famous Madam.



World War I brought prosperity, growth and labor unrest. The town boomed. Disaster's presence was always near. Dynamite, cages for descending into the tunnels, cave-ins and heavy equipment were a dangerous combination.

During the Great Depression of the 1930's, production slowed. It was during the '30's that dynamite blasts combined with general shifting caused parts of the town to crack or slide. One particularly powerful blast caused a whole block to slide down to the next level, and the "sliding jail" came to rest a block from its intended location.

World War II revived the mines for a short time, but mining towns die young, and by 1953, after belching copper for more than 70 years - 800 million dollars worth - the great shafts were silent.

The remaining citizens, mostly mine officials and retirees, realized the potential for making Jerome a whistle stop on the way to Phoenix or California. Labeled "America's most unique ghost city," the town that had nearly been left for dead found new life.
