I have been to Jerome a number of times.
My dad was in the CCC and was stationed in that area.  Built roads and a few dams. When I was little he took me to Jerome and we went in some of the mines and kicked around the town.  It was very interesting. Lots of Rusty Iron at that time.

Had it not been for the 60's hippies in might now be a ghost town.

88 miles of copper mine tunnels under the 1 square mile town.  Plus a very large open pit mine.  Nice museum for the copper mine portion.  A couple of "nuggets of copper weighing hundreds of pounds so pure they oxidize green and can be melted down directly.

Jerome, AZ has some really interesting history.  A most unusual place to place a town.

Here is a link to the website although not too much on the site. http://www.goldkingmineghosttown.com/ The old coot is not very Politically Correct.  This was before Obama was elected we were there, and he had some thoughts on the matter.  Actually a lot of thoughts and expressed them.  He has a bunch of old equipment trucks, tractors, a Huber grader like mine, and a Dodge Travco like mine can be seen in the picture on the website.  Cabins and buildings to reflect period times.  It was interesting to me.

The old mine at Jerome is cool,  all the old vehicles and stuff we were there in I believe 2008. The old coot who owned it was quite a character.

There are a few places around here that have rusty iron deposits.... if you happen to go up near Jerome it's got some interesting stuff. Check the weather first though. We had snow coming back from Flagstaff Sunday. (my son had an indoor track meet there)

I'm in Gilbert but I only have a few tractors so my pile of stuff isn't that impressive though you're welcome to drop in.
I haven't been to any of the shows in a while so I'm not much help on what's available.

Cheers,

Ken in AZ
