Small museum on the main road in Clarkdale, near Jerome. Too much info to absorb on one visit. Fascinating story of Trench Art from World Wars. Want to revisit.

The Douglas Mansion has been an eye-catching landmark in Jerome since 1916, when James S. Douglas built it on the hill just above his Little Daisy Mine. This former home is now a museum devoted to the history of the Jerome area and the Douglas family. The museum features photographs, artifacts and minerals in addition to a video presentation and a 3-D model of the town with its underground mines. There are more displays outside along with a picnic area offering a beautiful panoramic view of the Verde Valley.

This is a must stop on your way up the hill to Jerome. The 25 minute move gives you an excellent overview of Jerome's history. Plus, this home (The Douglas Mansion) is a unique experience in and of itself when you realize the era of when a family lived in this lovely home. The view is spectacular as well!.

This former home of a mining baron became a state park and a museum in 1965.

Part of State Park and a fee per person to visit. Rooms of the original mansion now house museum displays. Only a couple of rooms have the original furniture and use such as a bedroom and a bathroom. Museum is quite nice with lots of displays of mining techniques and other historical information on the town.

Houses a collection of minerals and provides information about Jerome's mining past.
Reviewed By CATTSAR - Provincetown, Massachusetts
This is proof that good things come in small packages. In spite of the small space the museum delivers a good, comprehensive look at Jerome's history as a mining town. Compact and easy to follow this is a quick way to learn about Jerome. Less than an hour is needed to go through. Two dollars gets you in, $1 if you are over 60.

It is free to visit this attraction. Not much to see except for the headframe (raises and lowers things into the mine shaft) and then the highlight is standing on the glass cover of the 1,900 foot deep mine shaft. Can't really see that far into the shaft unless you have a strong flashlight.

My mother and I stopped in for a wine tasting while visiting Jerome. I have a sweet palette, but was still able to enjoy my visit. My favorite wine was the Judith orange Malvasia. A gentleman waited on us and was full of knowledge. We had great conversation and he thanked us for coming in and for the conversation. I'm happy I stopped in here and had someone cool to talk to. This establishment was really nice! I was unaware that tools lead singer Maynard owned this place-but I found it cool because I've seen them in concert and enjoy his music.

We dropped by Raku Gallery when in Jerome last week. We wanted to show some visitors the view from the rear window of the shop and as in the past were not disappointed. Quite a view of Sedona and the Verde Valley. Lots of interesting art work to see (and purchase if so inclined). The wooden tables were stunning as were the jelly fish pieces. Great place to visit.

We were passing through Jerome and stopped here based on a recommendation. Very comfortable space with an awesome view. We only had time for a tasting but bought a couple of bottles of wine to enjoy later. If we lived closer, we would be hanging...MoreThank you so much for making us a part of your journey!

$ 5.00 PER PERSON. This was the little town of Haynes Az . A suburb of (Jerome Billion Dollar Copper Camp). They mined gold here from 1890 to 1914. The mine shaft goes down 1270 ft. You can view it but you can not go down in it. We do offer gold or gem panning .The tour is self guided with the employees performing exhibits such as 1914 gas Whitte saw mill, black Smith making knives etc. , various antique engines and mining equipment demonstrations. You can walk through some of the old buildings such as dentist, school, assay, etc. They are filled with old antiques. There is a unique collection of antique trucks, cars , motorcycles ( varies types of vintage transportation). The kids love our petting zoo ( Pedro the donkey is world famous .) There are mini goats, Bella the mini pig, chickens and Miss Bessie the orphan calf.) Great country gift shop with unique gifts. Also have a wood working shop and a old time garage were restorations of these antique vehicles go on.

Trip Advisor needs to update info on this. The gentleman who started the mine has passed and it's now owned by his Daughter. What it amounts to is lots of vehicles came here to die a rusty death. I found it interesting that people volunteer their time to work on engines and get them running keeping a little bit of history running. A small petting zoo is there. You can purchase a bag of corn and food pellets for $1.00. If you haven't been, it's worth the modest cost to see.
