Find your sunglasses-we'd love for you to join us!
Bisbee is in Southeastern Arizona and was a mining community until the mid 1990s. Now you will find a town full of creative people, fun shops, excellent restaurants, museums, and galleries.

The most noticeable and visible site that lets visitors know they have arrived in a mining town is the Lavender Pit. The pit is not named for the color but for one of the general managers of the mine.
Towns and cities that I visit where I can find street art seem much more real, creative, grounded to me. I enjoy searching for it and photographing the creative designs.
Exploring a small town might seem a bit limited but we managed to find a unique neighboring town. Lowell is just a few turns down the highway. Like Bisbee, Lowell is an old mining town. It has one main street-and what a street it is! When you visit be sure to have breakfast at The Bisbee Breakfast Club!

Statue dedicated to the virile miner.
Our home for the weekend was a comfortable cottage on the main street. The home was built in 1905. My friend took a few photos of our Airbnb property.
