This walking tour starts in the heart of Old Town Bisbee at the junction of Tombstone Canyon and Zacatecas Canyon.  It was near this spot that one of the world's largest copper strikes took place and through which thousands of miners trod back and forth to their up-canyon homes at the beginning and end of their twelve-hour shifts.  It was not a coincidence that this location, just outside the miners' place of employment, soon acquired the name of Brewery Gulch and developed a reputation as one of the wildest places in the Southwest with a multitude of saloons, gambling establishments, opium dens and houses of ill repute.  

Beginning with the copper claim filed by civilian tracker Jack Dunn in 1877 and continuing through the early 1900s, Bisbee became the largest and most prosperous town in Arizona.  Like all old mining towns, Bisbee suffered many natural tragedies including, a 7.4 earthquake on May 3, 1887, 4 major fires, floods and disease resulting in substantial loss of property and life.  Many other deaths resulted from the wild, reckless and dissolute lifestyles practiced by many Bisbee residents. 

In the course of this tour, tour participants will learn about Bisbee from its very beginning when it was home to many of the 300,000 + Apache Indians that lived in Cochise County, its evolution from a mining camp of tents and shacks to a respectable city and the county seat for Cochise County, its changing morals and the impact of prohibition, and finally what happened to Bisbee after the mines closed in 1974. 

This tour commences at 7:00a.m. Friday and Sunday of every week. (Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can check you in.) Tour participants will meet at the Grassy Park in old town Bisbee where they will be treated to a brief introduction to the history of Bisbee.  After that, tour participants will be guided up through Tombstone Canyon to the Bisbee Courthouse, ascend into the old Bisbee residential district and return through Zacatecas Canyon and Brewery Gulch.  

The tour length is approximately 1.5 miles. Approximate total time is 1.5 hours.  

This not a ghost tour but, at the conclusion of the tour, tour participants will have a definite inkling as to why Bisbee is considered to be one of the most haunted venues in the Southwest.

This stroll through time starts at the Grassy Park in front of the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum in Old Town Bisbee. It also ends there unless one chooses one of Bisbee's fine saloons as their final destination.  

In the course of this tour, you will come to know not only the historical facts about why Bisbee became the largest and wealthiest city between St. Louis and San Francisco but, also intimate details about the lives and recreational proclivities of the men and women who circulated in the saloon and bordello districts.  

The tour is a historical tour which will cover what is commonly referred to as the Bisbee Noir period, that period of time between 1880 and 1915.   Bisbee, back in the day, was not clean and neat like it appears today but, rather, was a sordid and seedy place with a multitude of saloons, gambling establishments, opium dens and brothels. This era of "wickedness" came to an end when Bisbee outlawed gambling and with prohibition. 

With few exceptions, much of what existed during that time frame has been removed, torn down or repurposed.  With that in mind, the tour concludes with an introduction to several of the present-day saloons which now satisfy the needs of adults for adult beverages. 

This tour commences at 3:00 p.m. Thursday through Sunday of every week. (Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can check you in.)
