Activities and Attractions in Bisbee
Bisbee is a city in the Mule Mountains of southeast Arizona. Both the Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum and the Bisbee Restoration Museum chronicle the city’s copper-mining past. The vast Queen Mine offers underground tours. Homes that once belonged to miners run up Tombstone Canyon from Old Bisbee, the historic town center. The grand Muheim Heritage House has 19th-century furniture, plus gardens and mountain views.
Bisbee’s Grand Canyon - Bisbee is an old mining town, established in 1880 and named after Judge DeWitt Bisbee who was a financial backer of the Copper Queen Mine. After mining operations ceased in 1974 the town reinvented itself as an artist community, and it now attracts tourists not just for the vibrant cultural scene but also for its well-preserved architecture. Notable are its many Victorian-era houses built into the hillsides, some of which even today can only be accessed by foot
Location: Lavender Pit, on Highway 80 between Old Bisbee and the traffic circle.

Gay 90's Bar - There are plenty of bars in Old Bisbee, but definitely think this one's worth the drive down to Naco. It's called The Gay 90's, first of all, but the name actually refers to the turn-of-the-century 1890s, which was an apparently a gay old time. So it's a really old dive bar, right next to the border checkpoint for Mexico. It's got bikers, pool tables, and a bunch of cool old stuff like antique showgirl mirrors and photos of Ronald Reagan getting out of a Bronco. The beer looks pretty old too, but we prefer to think it's "aged.

If you're going to do a Bisbee trip right, taking a stroll down Main Street is pretty inevitable. It's a tourist's paradise — there are plenty of cool, unique shops that sell everything from killer honey to vintage bicycles. The shop is also housed in a former 1900’s stable called the Palace Livery where carriages and wagons were stored on the first floor and horses on the second floor. Oh man, now I’m trying to picture what a horse looks like on an elevator.

Tacho’s Tacos is THE SPOT on Naco Highway for one of the best foods in existence: fried beef tacos with the crispy shell. They do everything here — full Mexican menu — but it’s best to put that aside and order a dozen tacos with some guac on the side. Very simple food, but by the end, everyone seemed to be in tears. (The salsa was pretty hot though, so maybe that was it.)
