The Arizona Town the Mine Destroyed and Tourists Now Visit From All Over the World

What was once a thriving Arizona mining town is now one of the strangest historic districts in the state. Erie Street in Bisbee’s Lowell district survived while most of the town around it was demolished as the massive Lavender Pit mine expanded. Today, its vintage storefronts, rusted classic cars, and faded signs draw tourists from around the world looking to experience a surviving piece of Arizona history frozen in time.
