Globe, Arizona

Every year thousands of visitors descend on the small community of Globe-Miami for the Historic Home Tour held every February. Globe-Miami lies just 60 minutes east of Phoenix and 90 minutes north of Tucson at the junction of Hwy. 77 & Hwy 60 and is nestled among the low desert mountains.

A majority of the houses and commercial buildings date back to the early 1900s and a wide range of architectural styles including Craftsman, Mission Revival, Victorian and Neo-Classical can be found. In addition, there is a self-guided walking tour of Globe's Main street where over 50 buildings will display information about the heritage and architecture, most having been built between 1898-1940.

A walking tour brochure is available at the Chamber/EDC detailing some of the old buildings and their histories.
