Description
This fun bench with the dancing skeletons and ghosts was sighted on a visit to Jerome, Arizona. Jerome is located on top of Cleopatra Hill between Sedona and Prescott. Founded in 1876, it was once a thriving copper and gold mining town. When gold was discovered in Jerome, miners, gamblers and bad boys of the old west flocked there and frequented the saloons and houses of "ill repute" Jerome earned a reputation as the "Wickedest Town in the West". Jerome produced over a billion dollars worth of gold, copper, silver and zinc during a period of over 70 years until the last mine closed in 1953. After a number of years of dwindling population and becoming a "ghost town," Jerome was rediscovered during the 60's and 70's by artists. The old buildings, mining sites, and stately ruins provide rich materials for a variety of art forms. As people began trickling back to Jerome, an eclectic mix of artists, craftspersons, writers and musicians have made Jerome their home. Many of the old buildings still stand and have become restaurants and hotels, as well as artist studios and shops. Many are reputed to be haunted.
