We had a wonderful trip to Bisbee yesterday. Bisbee is an old mining town that was settled in the 1880’s. Copper and silver were the main ores that were taken out of the mine, (mostly copper). The mine closed in the 70’s so tourism is now the ore they mine.
It was very interesting walking around, they have lots of alleys and steps that go to the upper sections of town.
The main street of Bisbee.
The Copper Queen Hotel
We had a nice lunch and a couple of local brews at the Bisbee Grill.
We had a Dave’s Electric Beer and an Industrial Pale Ale.
A visit to the local museum was made and we met the nicest lady. Her name is LaVerne and she has lived here for 83 years. Boy did she have some stories to tell. It is always wonderful to meet people in small towns who know so much about the local history and have actually lived it.
There is much more to do and see in this town that we plan to come back while we are in the area.
More Later, Rich
