Globe, Arizona 25th annual Historic Home and Building Tour…
A day trip from Mesa, Arizona to Globe - just about one hour east from Mesa, this weekend - February 21 and 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Prices for admission: $15, $10 for ages 65 and older and 12 and younger.
For any of you who have been through Globe, Arizona, a copper mining town, it is full of history. The tour gives visitors a glimpse of how regular people in the tough old mining town once lived. There will be a tour of about six homes and a couple of Globe’s landmark buildings and its recently refurbished train depot.
As you head east on the 60 through Superior and Miami, you arrive in Globe. It’s a treat, albeit slow and winding roads, to travel this highway. Evident are the mining operations still happening, and these little mining towns are still happening.
As we travel to the White Mountains in May, I will make sure to stop to take and share some photos of the older homes and buildings that the highway, for the most part skips.
If you have a chance to go this weekend, there will be lots going on. There will be antiques and quit shows, pancake breakfast, a chili luncheon and more. For more details, call: 928.425-4495, or logon to globemiamichamber.com.
