Jerome, Arizona Things to Do...
Jerome is a touristy, fun and an artsy community. Historic homes and old buildings cling to the edge of the narrow winding scenic State Route/Historic 89A going up and over Mingus Mountain to Prescott. Once a copper mining town during its heyday, Jerome later became a ghost town. Today it is a bustling tourist district. There are a couple of winery wine tasting rooms, great shops, a fine selection of galleries and restaurants. The Spirit Room is a popular place.
I always recommend exploring their most popular event, the 1st Saturday of the month, Art Walk. You can print out the Jerome Art Walk brochure HERE.

Jerome is well worth the visit. It is rich with history, and some of the main attractions are the awesome views off the cliff sides, which make for panoramic photographs. The Gold King Mine Museum is a pretty interesting place to visit. Make sure to get Pedro the mule to talk to you. He's a real character. You just gotta' love him!

Jerome, Arizona is known for haunted hotels...
If you like sleeping with ghosts in a haunted hotel, many stay at the Jerome Grand Hotel. It was once a hospital, where lots of people died.
Jerome hotels, motels and lodging fill up fast. Your next best choice is the historic Cottonwood Hotel, as we are the closest hotel near Jerome. (6 miles)
***Tip on Jerome Hotel Rates: Prices are somewhat higher than the historic Cottonwood Hotel's rates. You can stay in a well-appointed suite here for less than the price of a plain hotel room in Jerome .
