BISBEE
MINING & HISTORICAL MUSEUM
With a history deserving of National Landmark status, it's only
fitting that Bisbee's past be captured and reflected in a museum
like no other. Which is exactly why the Bisbee Mining & Historical
Museum recently joined forces with the Smithsonian's Affiliation
Program. Once known as The Queen of the Copper Camps, Bisbee is
nestled among the Mule Mountains, work renowned for its diverse
minerals and wealth of copper. Although its mines closed in the
70s, the small town's legacy has long been preserved not only
in its architecture and mining landscape, but in a museum that
has welcomed, educated and entertained more than a half-million
visitors ever since. Featured among its exhibits is "Bisbee:
Urban Outpost on the Frontier," an in-depth look at the depths
- and heights - to which miners and settlers went to carve a communtiy
and a living out of rock.
