About Jerome State Historic Park

The park centers on a hillside residence finished in 1916 for James S. Douglas, who built it above his Little Daisy Mine. It now serves as a museum covering Jerome's mining history and the Douglas family. Indoor exhibits include photographs, artifacts, and mineral specimens, plus a video presentation and a three-dimensional model of the town and its underground workings. Outdoor displays and a picnic area overlook the Verde Valley. Scheduled programs include an outdoor history talk, guided historical walking tours on Saturdays, and a geology presentation on Sundays.
