Jerome is a former mining town on the side of a mountain. As the mining ceased the town became almost deserted with the population falling to about 100 in the 70's. House prices were ridiculously low. Hippies bought them and moved in and the community became an artsy craftsy area., Today it is that and more. Many galleries, gifts shops selling art and crafts, wineries, and restaurants. It's a fun little town. A bit interesting maneuvering around with the tight quarters and steep hills but very fun. We had lunch at Grapes. It was wonderful!! The town and the restaurant and definite stops if you are in the Cottonwood area.
