Mine Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:46:36

Two halves of a four-ton flywheel mark the entryway to this small but informative museum that highlights Jerome's hardscrabble past. Displays include a claustrophobic mining cage, a Chinese laundry machine, a story about a beloved prostitute (worth a read!) and a wall dedicated to an old-school sheriff who gunned down three vigilantes on Main St then went home and ate lunch – without mentioning to his wife what had happened. Gift shop closes at 6pm.
