Event Details

Spook weekend has been a tradition in Jerome for almost as long as Jerome has been around. It is a time to remember what made this town what it is today, mining. It is also a time to get together with residents and visitors alike, to remember time gone by and reminisce.

Come and join us as we bring back the fun from days gone by. Our shops and businesses will all be open. Participate in the horseshoe tournament, spike driving contest, bed races, enjoy live music, barbecue, hot dogs and hamburgers.

Listen to the music, browse the shops, stay the weekend, make Jerome's Spook Weekend one of your destinations for an enjoyable time with the whole family. (10:00AM-6:00PM)

Jerome State Historic Park Famous Homes

Jerome State Historic Park - The Douglas Mansion
Jerome State Historic Park - The Douglas MansionThe Douglas Mansion, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has been an eye-catching landmark in Jerome since 1916, when James S. Douglas built it on the hill just above his Little Daisy Mine.

Douglas designed the house as a hotel for mining officials and investors as well as for his own family. It featured a wine cellar, billiard room, marble shower, steam heat, and, much ahead of its time, a central vacuum system. Douglas was most proud of the fact that the house was constructed of adobe bricks that were made on the site.

He also built the Little Daisy Hotel near the mine as a dormitory for the miners. The concrete structure still stands.

This former home is now a museum operated by the Arizona State Parks and is devoted to history of the Jerome area and the Douglas family. The museum features exhibits of photographs, artifacts, and minerals in addition to a video presentation and a 3-D model of the town with its underground mines. One room, the Douglas library, is restored as a period room. There are more displays outside along with a picnic area offering a beautiful panoramic view of the Verde Valley.
