10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Bisbee That You Shouldn't Miss
Bisbee has declined in size and vigor from its glory days as a thriving silver and copper mining town, but the decrease in population has not robbed the vitality from this historic center. A haven to artists, retirees and history buffs, Bisbee astounds visitors with vibrantly colored rock faces and picturesque houses hugging the edges of cliffs. Its history can be discovered in its numerous museums, historic staircases and a mine tour that leads deep into one of the remaining caverns.

I was passing by this art gallery while browsing in many of the shops; several of the art items in the gallery were unusual and appealed to me. I went inside and looked around. I found a small painting that really resonated with me and after thinking about it a while, decided to purchase it. I came back later when the artist was there and she was so gracious and personable - a real memorable experience of my visit to Bisbee. The gallery manager was also very pleasant and informative. The other artist also had incredible drawings and mechanical art - these artists are both truly interesting and have a creative talent. I look forward to coming back to their gallery.

We spent a little over an hour visiting the Bisbee Mining Museum. Great exhibits downstairs really brought the history of Bisbee to life. The huge bonus was the upstairs exhibits that were done in conjunction with the Smithsonian. Those were fantastic and took the overall museum to a 5 star ranking. Attendance is limited during the pandemic, so you are best off making advance reservations. We just stumbled on it and were fortunate to be able to access the exhibits during a quiet period. Very well done and friendly staff.

Our guide Benny worked the copper mines in this area, so he knew the history and offered loads of firsthand experience. Beyond that, he was charming and really knew how to read his customers. This is a must do while in Bisbee. Wear closed-toe shoes, plan for cooler temps underground, arrive half an hour before your tour (I suggest reserving in advance), and bring some money: there's a great gift shop. Parking on site.

Wonderful boutique/gallery. The most terrific selection of unique and tasteful earrings I've found in awhile. Clothing selection is varied and there is a nice sale area. The woman who helped me with choosing a long tunic top listened to what I was looking for and made some great selections for me. Will positively return.

I walked in because the Alice in Wonderland display in the front window caught my eye, but then wandered the entire place looking at every single wall and case. What a panoply of collections; jewelry, china, tile, gifts, both vintage and new. Great owner, great vibe.
