Bisbee-Arizona

Known as the "Queen of Copper Camps", Bisbee-Arizona was a rich source of lead, copper and silver that drove treasure hunters.

Now, it continues to grow and prosper as the availability of cheap real estate flourished, coupled with an attractive climate and picturesque scenery. It led to Bisbee's subsequent rebirth as an artists' colony.

Despite the departure of its industrial base, Bisbee’s architectural and historic heritage have been well preserved with a polished look in a most suitable 47-degree climate year round.

Today, the original city of Bisbee is known as "Old Bisbee." Old Bisbee is also noted for its architecture, including its Victorian houses and elegant Art Deco courthouse.

The town's hilly terrain is exemplified by the old three-story high school, each floor having a ground-level entrance.

The "City of Bisbee" now includes the historic downtown Bisbee, as well as the geographically spaced satellite towns.

Approximately 50,000 visitors tour the Queen Mine City per year. You experience history in its mining heritage, wear a miner’s helmet and headlamp, and board a mine train personally conducted by former miners who tell you their own unforgettable experiences.

Available 5 times a day, 7 days a week, Bisbee’s Queen Mine tours last about an hour and 15 minutes, with children under 4 years of age free of charge.

Bisbee is also known for high quality turquoise, called "Bisbee Blue".
