Jerome, a historical township nestled amid a semi-arid landscape, is certainly worth a visit. Originally settled as a mining town, this charming town today features several enduring landmarks and attractions that illustrate its history and heritage. Vestiges of time linger in the form of an old jail which clings to the sloping inclines of a hill, the Douglas Mansion at the Jerome State Historic Park, and the Audrey Headframe, among others. Quaint storefronts and the small-town ambiance attract multitudes of artists, writers, and tourists. Shops and galleries flourish here, as do museums detailing the town's story.
