Jerome is located between Sedona and Prescott, Arizona. The town overlooks the Verde Valley. Mining was the main business with a large copper mine but also, gold, silver and some other resources. Ore deposits ran out in 1953 and the town nearly died. It has been revitalized as a tourist town with older stores, restaurants and of course old mining equipment and museums. The town became a National Historic Landmark in 1967.
Of course, we dined at an old BBQ restaurant and had great beef ribs.
