- The Jerome Historical Society which gives a bit of history and information about the Mine Museum and the Society's plans to protect Jerome's historical heritage.
- Jerome Chamber of Commerce offers a really good overview of what's available to Jerome visitors. They've added a section of photos from the 2008 Home Tour--a good indication of what you might see on the 2009 tour.
- AZJerome.com is a commercial site and actually is the most informative website I've found.
According to AZJerome.com, today Jerome is a thriving on tourist and artist community and has a population of about 450, but it was once a booming mining town of 15,000, the fourth largest city in the Arizona territory.
Jerome is called "America's Most Vertical City" and "Largest Ghost Town in America." Sounds like a bit of information that might call for some more investigation. This town is interesting part of Arizona history that through ingenuity and hard work has managed to live on.
