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.

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.

If you are out and about, be sure to drive down Erie Street. We stopped and had a delicious breakfast at Bisbee Breakfast Club and browsed the antique store, next door, which by the way had very reasonable prices!! It's a fun photo spot, and worth the trip even if you just drive thru!

As you drive up to the pit you notice the different colors in the rock and the meticulous terracing of the land as well the the protruding piece of land that that they mined around . That piece of land remains because the original owner would not sell out to the mining company at the time.
