The Gleeson Historical Tour - Motorized

This motorized tour starts in Old Bisbee and continues approximately 25 miles North along State Route 80 to the wild west town of Tombstone, Arizona, after which it proceeds an additional 16 miles Northeast along Gleeson Road to the ghost town of Gleeson, Arizona. In this tour, participants will visit and be regaled with stories about the Gleeson Jail which still stands in its former glory, the schoolhouse, the general store, which was owned by Joe Bono's father, the old oak tree which was used to hang many convicted criminals and subjects of vigilante justice, the hospital at which many miners ultimately died from their mining injuries and/or loss of limbs, the trailer which was the site of horrific crimes committed against two your women, the Hudson murder and the Gleeson Cemetery. Tour participants will also visit the site of the largest Gleeson mine, the Copper Belle Mine, which is about 400 feet deep and view the equipment which was used to lower miners into the mine and haul out the ore. Be sure to bring sunscreen. There is a ton of memorabilia at the jail, so be prepared to take plenty of photographs. Day packs, water and snack will be provided.
