Courtney: “The Truth-sayer”, in the best way! - Courtney is a knowledgeable and interesting guide and spokesperson for Jerome! She shared many facts about Jerome’s history: the good, bad , and the ugly. Loved all of it! Although the first 30 minutes of the tour was fascinating to listen to Courtney, it would have been better if there had been benches at the parking lot/church location so we could sit and listen— or simply stay in the office where there was available seating. BUT, we really enjoyed our afternoon in Jerome.

The small city with big tales to tell - Our group of 5 did the Wild West Tour of Jerome. Courtney was awesome as a guide and took us through the history of a small town turning into a booming mining town and then almost to a ghost town at one point. So much went on good and bad in the small town of Jerome!
