Jerome Arizona Ghost Town Tour

The former boomtown of Jerome Arizona is now a famous haunted ghost town where people come from all across the state and even across the world to explore. The old Phelps Dodge city was a former mining boomtown that used to extract millions of tons of Copper Ore after World War 1. The town suffered a major setback during the Great Depression and never rebounded. With that being said the tourism industry in Jerome is picking up and has become one of the main attractions in the Verde Valley of Arizona.

The Jerome Grand Hotel is considered haunted since it was the old hospital.
People have reported seeing orbs of white light and other paranormal activity at the hotel.

Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Enjoyed that Jerome tour very much. Our family lived and worked in Jerome from 1975 to 1981 and established the restaurant and saloon where the Haunted Hamburger is now. It began as the dream of Phyllis Frank, our mother, who sold everything she owned and bought the building; a former old boarding house. Son, Lane, a master carpenter, converted it to her specifications including knocking out the wall on the top floor and putting in a huge window overlooking the Verde Valley far below. Living there was an unforgettable experience. The kids were little and had a magical adventure every day. There were many spooky things that happened as the narrator said. I personally had fireballs zip past my ear walking up from Main Street. Strange lights hovered over the valley and odd noises were heard in the old buildings. It was an enchanting time for us all and one we'll never forget. Definitely worth visiting. And Mingus Mountain - stupendous!

All the cities and towns in Arizona are very different from one another. That’s what makes this state interesting and fun! You want the forest, go to Flagstaff, red rocks, go to Sedona, ghosts, go to Jerome, the big city, go to Phoenix.

Nice video.I work in Jerome as a tour guide, so i can clear up some information for you. The towns population currently is about 455 residents. The Grand Hotel was the 4th and last Hospital opened in 1927.Turned into a Hotel in 1996. Has 29 rooms currently. (the one down the street was 1917) I am also a local artist and display my work inside the House Of Joy, and inside the Tours Of Jerome office inside the New State Motor Company shops and Museum. Other Museums are the little Historic Society Museum on main street, which is only $2 a person, and the Douglas Mansion, now Museum in the State Park below. The toilets and other things to toss coins into in the lower level of the Once Bartlett Hotel (1901) raises money for the Jerome Historic Society.

One of the coolest places anywhere. History, views, lodging, small crowds, always moderate temperatures, old school bars and restaurants, cool locals and unlimited outdoor activities in all directions. If you haven't been there yet, go see it

I moved away from AZ a few years ago. I really enjoy seeing your videos. Makes me miss AZ.

My father was born in Jerome in 1943. My grandfather was a copper miner back then. The house they lived in was in the video.

A lovely and comprehensive view of the many charms of this mile-high town. Well worth the scary heights!

[bobsmith]

My former father-in-law (who was born in Mesa, and lived for a time in Prescott) had relatives who lived in Jerome. It’s cool to actually see the town on video. Thanx! 😎👍🏻

I've driven through Jerome many times but never considered stopping and visiting the shops and restaurants there. What a shame.

Crazy story I drive for a transportation company in Phoenix driving a 26ft uhaul truck and I had to deliver some tires in Cottonwood and Prescott. I drove to Cottonwood first then put the address in the GPS to head to Prescott and it gave me the option to go thru highway 89A or thru Jerome, I said f it I'll go thru Jerome.( I had never heard of Jerome) I drove up to the little town when I finally realized I had f up badly! I quickly parked and walked around to see if I could find a exit but I didn't find one. I decided to keep following my GPS and it took me thru some of the most narrow roads I have ever driven on, then my heart dropped and I saw a sign with a uhaul truck on it and it read " No commerical trucks without permit." I kept on trucking took me about an hour to get out of there when my manager called and asked where was I, i told him wat had happened he said if i were to very pulled over without a permit I would have gotten a $10, 000 minimum ticket and the uhaul truck impounded.

Lived in Glendale but would ride up 89 then turn at Prescott to 89A (alternate) and ride all the way to Flagstaff. Jerome was my favorite place to rest (next to Sedona). Of all the places I've been Arizona is the most fascinating.

Visited Jerome about 1990 when we lived in AZ from 1985-1995. Sedona is a beautiful city too. Liked the Oak Creek Canyon drive from Sedona to Flagstaff. Another interesting place to visit is Apache Trail East of Phoenix. And there is always the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, Desert in Bloom, etc. In my opinion Arizona is most beautiful state in USA. Thanks for the video. Brings back lots of good memories!

The Caduceus Cellar, which you passed by in the video, is owned by Maynard too. Thanks for the video!

I grew up in Jerome on 2nd street and dang... The memories brought back... Used to climb up the mountain to the "J" with my friends and play basketball on the cement court next to the House of Joy... Thank you for this video, it brought back a lot of childhood memories...

This was one of my favorite places to visit in Arizona and I so want to come back especially to stay in the bed & breakfast again. It's so beautiful and fun to explore.

I loved visiting in the winter but I love winter time.
