Beliggende lige ved siden af Jerome State Historic Park er Audrey Shaft Headframe Park, som er åben dagligt fra 8.00 til 17.00. Headframe Park administreres af Jerome Historical Society. I Headframe-parken kan besøgende stå på glas over en 1.900 fods skakt. Skakten er 650 højere end det højeste punkt i Empire State Building! Det er den største hovedramme af træ, der stadig står i Arizona; den stod færdig i 1918.
Jerome State Historic Park er en statspark i Arizona, USA, med Douglas Mansion, bygget i 1916 af en familie af indflydelsesrige mineiværksættere i Jerome, Arizona, en mineregion i den nordøstlige del af Black Hills, øst for Yavapai County. Et museum er placeret i det gamle Douglas Mansion.
Minen blev etableret i 1882. Ejet af territorialguvernør Frederick Tritle, blev der opnået finansiering til at begynde storskala minedrift fra New York-investorer som Eugene Jerome, som byen blev opkaldt efter. Den massive malm fundet her blev udvundet i over 70 år og producerede over en milliard dollars i kobber, guld, sølv, zink og jern. Dette var verdens største kobberproducent under 1. Verdenskrig.
I løbet af 1930'erne var meget af Jerome i et jordskred på grund af brudlinjer, massive eksplosioner fra United Verde Copper Company og vanderosion. I løbet af denne tid gled dele af Jerome 1 1/2 fod hver måned. Det glidende fængsel gled cirka 225 fod fra dets oprindelige fundament.
Museet og gavebutikken blev åbnet i begyndelsen af 1950'erne. Med udstillinger, der afbilder tidslinjen fra Jeromes fortid til dens nutid, kan genstande såsom gammelt minearbejderudstyr til rester af spil i saloner ses i museet.
På turen kommer vi forbi mange af Jeromes fine vingårde.
