Bisbee is only 24 miles from Douglas and there is much to see there. Our great grandfather, Matthew Roughan, came to Bisbee in 1903 as a miner.
This tour is great!!! When I was a teacher, I brought my class down for this each year. Now Kerri is doing it with her fourth graders!!

Outfitted in hard hat, miner’s headlamp and a yellow slicker, thousands of Bisbee visitors descend into the Queen Mine Tour each year—heading underground and back in time. Tour guides, retired Phelps Dodge employees, lead the group 1,500 feet into the mine and recount mining days, techniques, dangers and drama. Adding a personal touch, the miner-turned-tour guides help visitors experience what it was like to work underground.
Five tours depart each day, seven days a week, from the Queen Mine Tour Building, located immediately south of Old Bisbee’s business district, off the U.S. 80 interchange.
