We spent the afternoon walking through historic Jerome and went down the side street stumbling onto this great little gym. We sat and watched this incredible artist work and fill us with some of his knowledge that you know was only scratching the surface of what he knows ... We are so glad we chose to open those corrugated tin doors and step inside. We purchased four glasses and I put them on the shelf with all the other lovely hand blown glass from across this great country that I have picked up over the years . such a great place can’t wait to go back... will enjoy them with each beverage !

This former home of a mining baron became a state park and a museum in 1965.

The Douglas Mansion is the main feature of the Jerome State Historic Park. This is well worth the stop. It is a self-guided tour of the mansion and there is a 30-minute film about the history of Jerome, AZ. The views are also spectacular looking north towards Sedona. Unlike the rest of Jerome, parking here is easy.

The Douglas Mansion has been an eye-catching landmark in Jerome since 1916, when James S. Douglas built it on the hill just above his Little Daisy Mine. This former home is now a museum devoted to the history of the Jerome area and the Douglas family. The museum features photographs, artifacts and minerals in addition to a video presentation and a 3-D model of the town with its underground mines. There are more displays outside along with a picnic area offering a beautiful panoramic view of the Verde Valley.

My wife and I love to visit ghost towns, the remains of old mining camps in California, Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. One of our favorite stops is Jerome, Arizona, a 45-minute drive from Sedona, across the Verde Valley. Established in 1965, the Jerome State Historic Park has survived budget cuts that closed the park from February 27, 2009, to October 14, 2010. Today, it is open seven days a week thanks to additional funding by Yavapai County, the city of Jerome, the Jerome Historical Society and the Douglas family, which built the Douglas Mansion in 1916 that remains the major attraction in the park. The mansion was built by Jimmy Douglas, the head of a family of mining entrepreneurs, on a hill above his Little Daisy Mine. It features a museum with photographs of the family, the town of Jerome during its mining years, mining artifacts, minerals, antique mining equipment, a video detailing the history of the town and a 3-D reproduction of the town showing the mine shafts underneath the town. The mansion also features a wine cellar, billiard room, marble shower, steam heat and a central vacuum system which was much ahead of its time. Constructed of adobe bricks made on the site, the Douglas Mansion is the largest adobe structure in Arizona. Outside, a picnic area offers a panoramic view of the Verde Valley and Verde River and the Red Rocks of the Sedona/Oak Creek Canyon region. The mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

INSPIRED BY NATURE... Firefly was created from our love and appreciation for the outdoors, nature, changing seasons and gardening, with the idea to bring a touch of the outside indoors. We have both functional and decorative items for your home, outdoor living space and garden. We enjoy working with both local and national artists selling works in a variety of mediums.

Ironically, we headed to Jerome as our friends had located the Firefly via imported rugs from Mexico. Long story; however, this is quite the store with all sorts of nick knacks, rugs, iron work, jewelry, art work, etc. Due to time and cargo room in the car, we took several pictures of items as they can ship anywhere in the U.S. (perhaps outside as well) as we saw many unique items.
