Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum

Fodor's Review:

The Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum is in a redbrick structure built in 1897 to serve as the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Offices. The rooms today are filled with exhibits, photographs, and artifacts that offer a glimpse into the everyday life of Bisbee's early mining community. Even though the exhibit "Bisbee: Urban Outpost on the Frontier" paints a flattering portrait of this Shady Lady's early years and the funky gift store gets in the groove with feathered ladies hats and locally written books, most visitors will spend less than an hour taking in this dusty little museum. This was the first rural museum in the United States to become a member of the Smithsonian Institution Affiliations Program.
