Many camps here but all ruled by the Geneva Convention agreement. Displays of sleeping areas , personal item and types of fence and a searchlight and much more.

The museum is quite large with many exhibits to peruse through at your leisure. I enjoyed looking at the pioneer days exhibit and the random items like jewelry and clothing pieces that have been donated to the museum by residents. I also liked looking at the old local sports mementos. I like learning about different places and I thought that this museum did an excellent job at displaying the area's history. The volunteer that was sitting up front was very nice as well.

The gentleman up front was very nice as was the woman in the shop. We snagged the last copy -- which was also signed! - then proceeded to pick up some souvenirs.

Recommend stopping by even if you don't have time for the museum. Its a nice little shop and as a Smithsonian affiliate, there's no tax!

Honestly, this was the best mine tour we've done in Arizona. You check in about 30 minutes before the tour. There's a little shop to browse, a spot to sit, and a short movie in the back that gives you a great background on the mine and how copper is made. The tour itself is about an hour, all underground. You ride in on a little train that you sit on kind of like a bike, and the temperature stays a cool mid-60s the whole time. They give you a hard hat, light, safety vest, and even a number tag - just like real miners use - so they know nobody gets left behind. Along the way, the train stops a few times so you can get off, check out artifacts, and walk into different areas while Steve tells more stories. When you come back up to the surface, have your sunglasses ready - the sunlight feels unbelievably bright after being underground. It was the highlight of our full day in Bisbee and something you do NOT want to miss.

More artifacts than my brain can process in a beautiful set of buildings at an incomparable site…read more I've been wanting to visit this place for over a decade, and finally made it there yesterday. Not easy to find: take the Dragoon exit just before Texas Canyon, make a right and it's down about a mile on the left. Long gravel driveway to get into the grounds. Suggestion: pack a picnic lunch. They have stunning picnic grounds just past the museum in a jaw-dropping setting among the rocks. Also gives you a break from looking at all the stuff which, frankly, gets a little overwhelming after a while. We hit the art gallery first as it closes from 12-1PM, and we got there around 11:30. Mostly photography when we were there, but very nice work. The main exhibits have great interpretive signage - you can spend hours just reading all the explanations. A lot of the signage gives you the history, which is great. I have never seen so much antique jewelry in my life - really impressive displays. Ran out of time for the hike to the bird pond - next time! We did stop at the old cemetery on the way out - do make a brief stop and read the story of the place.

Art Car World was suggested to us by a gentleman at the Douglas Visitor Center. I had never heard…read moreof art cars but it seemed like an interesting concept. They were closed for the day but the gentleman at the visitor center said they are very accommodating with tours and that I should call them . Not wanting to bother people after hours, I made plans to spend the night and go first thing in the morning when they opened. I think it's important to mention all that because even after opening hours, I still ended up having to call. The gentleman that arrived and gave our tour was named Hunter and he explained it IS always best to call because they are flexible regarding hours and tours. Hunter was amazing. He was so knowledgeable about every single vehicle and he was super friendly and nice . He had in-depth history and experience with all of the cars and his stories made the entire experience just kind of come to life. He spent over 90 minutes showing me around and as much as I loved the building and art cars, he is what really made the experience five stars. I thought this would be a fun and interesting experience, but I just didn't expect how much love, creativity, and genuine Joy is behind this passion project. Art Car World is a collection of fully transformed vehicles that have been turned into rolling pieces of art. They are interesting, detailed expressions of creativity that take a huge amount of time and imagination. Every car has a story. I liked the "Monster" truck and the stained glass VW Bug, but the Brass Van was my personal favorite. It was a piece you could look at for hours and never get bored, continuously noticing new details and interesting things. Hunter had a personal connection with the gentleman who created that piece and was able to tell story after story and answer all my questions. It was a very enjoyable way to spend my afternoon. This definitely doesn't feel like a typical museum. It feels alive and full of creativity and I left feeling inspired. I made a donation and even bought myself a t-shirt because this really feels like something worth supporting. I have also already made plans to go to the Art Car Festival in Seattle later this year, at Hunter's suggestion. If you're anywhere near Douglas, this is absolutely worth your time. It's a work in progress and super weird in the best way. It's one of those experiences that remind you how fun creativity can be when people are allowed to run wild and you can really feel the love and community here. Make the call and don't miss this one!

Deming, New Mexico…read more Timestamp: April 2021 Location & Parking: Street. Small town. Handicap: Yes. Hours: Mon - Sat 1230p-4p. Closed on Sunday. Costs: Free Museum Type: Historical Custom House Seaman Field's old home is believed to be this small New Mexico town of Deming's inital customs house. This is speculated to be the original custom house for Deming or the entire Luna County because Mr. Seamen Field set up his home/ranch back in 1848. Mr. Field was also the first bonded customs agent under President G. Cleveland, Deming's first mayor and judge. More info about Mr Field, this abode and related can be found at the Luna County (Columbus) Historical Society (Museum) in Columbus, New Mexico about an hour south of Deming near the Original Mexico border. The home has been refurbished inside and out to resemble the late 1800 and early 1900s rather than it's pure original. The home is in well shape throughout the years and looks nothing like the original abode since we don't know what it really looked like yet still a gem to snoop around the past, learn and be amazed how the people back thing survived. Deming is a small town with limitations. Notable attractions in Deming are the Mimbres Museum across the street, the small Veterans park/memorial across the street and the Luna County Courthouse which is over 100 years old with a cool park to rest up. About one hour north of Deming are: City of Rocks, and Fort Cummings Historical Site and town of Hatch. A further drive is Silver City which has its own set of touristy stuff. About one hour south of Deming are: The mexican border, Luna County Historical Society and the Pancho Villa State Park. About one east is Las Cruces, NM and there is nothing west until you hit Benson, Arizona. Travel safely www.cleeshyun.com @cigarcpa @cleeshyun
