Review:

Gold King Mine Museum and Ghost Town is a gearhead’s paradise and museum of all things mechanical, located in the historic town of Jerome, Arizona. The ghost town boasts antiquated buildings and an old disused mine shaft, among other attractions. One of the main draws to this museum of sorts would be the owner and proprietor, Don Robertson. Don’s enthusiasm for mechanics and tinkering are something to be admired for those who visit. Some of the attractions he’s assembled and has lovingly looked after include a turn-of-the-century sawmill, antique mining equipment, a 1901 blacksmith shop, and restored antique cars. Visitors will also enjoy the open-air museum that holds a few resident animals, such as chickens, goats, rabbits, and donkeys.
