HISTORIC BISBEE ARIZONA QUEEN OF THE COPPER CAMPS
A cute little town nestled in the mile-high Mule Mountains. Back in the day, it was quite the place. In the late 1800's copper was discovered. To get workers with families to move out in the middle of no where, they had to introduce some culture to the city. It became one of the biggest cities in the Arizona Territory. When the copper ran out, and the mines were shut down in the 70's mainly because of environmental reasons it became a place that attracted creative and talented people in the arts. Many of the Victorian homes and businesses have been restored.
