Jerome State Historic Park – This a town that refuses to die and is so small that its best to park and walk. On October 16, 1965, Jerome State Historic Park was dedicated and opened to the public as the fifth State Park. The opening coincided with Jerome’s annual “Spook Night” celebration, and the festivities lasted all day and into the night. When the Park opened, the admission fee was 25¢ for each adult.
