World War I brought prosperity, growth and labor unrest. The town boomed. Disaster's presence was always near. Dynamite, cages for descending into the tunnels, cave-ins and heavy equipment were a dangerous combination.During the Great Depression of the 1930's, production slowed. It was during the '30's that dynamite blasts combined with general shifting caused parts of the town to crack or slide. One particularly powerful blast caused a whole block to slide down to the next level, and the "sliding jail" came to rest a block from its intended location.

World War II revived the mines for a short time, but mining towns die young, and by 1953, after belching copper for more than 70 years - 800 million dollars worth - the great shafts were silent. The remaining citizens, mostly mine officials and retirees, realized the potential for making Jerome a whistle stop on the way to Phoenix or California. Labeled "America's most unique ghost city," the town that had nearly been left for dead found new life. There were people here before the west was won. If you're interested in Jerome's History, the Mine Museum, owned and operated by the Jerome Historical Society, sells history books and tapes about Jerome. You can also join the Jerome Historical Society (JHS) and receive a quarterly newsletter about the history of Jerome in depth. JHS has actively preserved Jerome's old buildings and historic status and sponsors cultural and historical events.

Jerome State Historic Park Open 8 am to 5 pm every day except Christmas. In 1916 James Douglas built the Douglas Mansion of adobe bricks made on-site, covered with stucco and painted white. The mansion overlooks the United Verde Extension mine, nicknamed "The Little Daisy." and was equipped with a central vacuum system and steam heat.

Douglas designed the mansion to accommodate and entertain visiting mining officials and investors and was reportedly a gracious and generous host.

Inside are maps, ore samples and the story of the town. On the second floor, the 3D model of the town with the tunnels beneath it merits the trip. The park shows a video of the history of Jerome continuously all day, and each month features a different additional video. Viewing is free with your admission to the park.

James "Rawhide Jimmy" Douglas was born in southern Quebec, Canada in 1868. From 1881 to 1885 Douglas and his brother, Walter attended school in Toronto. In 1883 his father became a mining consultant for Phelps Dodge. He moved from Manitoba Province to Arizona in 1889 to farm, but instead he took a position with his father's company. In 1911 Major A.J. Pickrell owned the United Verde Extension (UVX). Using Douglas' knowledge and contacts, the two secured a stock option and sold shares for development of a shaft. They sold the stock for fifty cents a share in 1912. By 1916 UVX stock was worth $42 per share. Your grandfather or great-grandfather could have made some money!

When the ore was exhausted, Douglas relinquished his US citizenship and returned to Canada, where he died in early 1949.

We've slowed down the pace now - we don't want you to get totally worn out on your vacation! Sedona is a Hiker's Paradise. Please take the hiking information from the notebook in your room, and we'll suggest hikes appropriate for your comfort level. There is also an excellent hiking book in our gift shop.

Oak Creek Canyon is considered by Rand McNally to be the eighth most scenic drive in the country.

West Fork Hike

13 miles north of the "Y" in Oak Creek Canyon, you'll find the "Call of the Canyon" parking area for the West Fork Hike. This hike is a beauty both in summer and winter, and is not difficult. The hike takes you into the Secret Mountain Wilderness as far as you'd like to go, and is marked every half mile. The trail traverses Oak Creek a number of times and affords views of sheer red rock cliff walls. ($3 parking fee).

Flagstaff

If you've reached the West Fork Hike, you're halfway to Flagstaff from Sedona. Should you choose to continue there several points of interest we might suggest...

The other driving option is to go directly up Route 180 to the Grand Canyon, stop at the IMAX on the way in, see the canyon from several overlooks, have lunch at the El Tovar Hotel, and come home again via Route 180. This route can be really advantageous, especially if you've been in the car too much on your vacation.
