Jerome State Historic Park was established to protect the Douglas Mansion and its estate. The stately mansion was built in Jerome in 1916 by the mining entrepreneur James S. Douglas on the hill overlooking his Little Daisy Mine. The mansion is now a museum that focuses on the history of the Jerome area, the Douglas family, and mining in the Black Hills. The museum contains a collection of photographs, family artifacts, and minerals found in the mine as well as a video presentation and a fascinating detailed model of the town and underground mines. There is a lovely picnic area in the garden outside the mansion with more displays and a beautiful panoramic vista of the Verde Valley.
