Be sure to attend the 2008 Old Pearce Holiday Festival....Nov. 28th & 29th!

 

Welcome,

We would like to extend an invitation and invite you to browse around the historic "Ghost Town" of Pearce, Arizona.  This unique ghost town is at the beginning of the infamous "Ghost Town Trail" where towns lived and died according to the whims of the ore veins that ran throughout the area.  Cochise County is full of these old towns, some with buildings still standing, some with just mine shafts and the rusting remains of old equipment from the late 1800's and early 1900's.

The Old Pearce Mercantile is on the National Register of Historic Buildings and was built in 1893.  Work has been done according to historic guidelines to maintain and preserve the uniqueness of this old building.

The perfect place to visit year round to absorb the atmosphere of the old west.  There are several other old building dating from the late 1800's and early 1900's including buildings that were actually transported over the mountains from Tombstone, AZ when gold and silver were discovered in the 1800's by James Pearce at what became known as the Commonwealth Mine.  The Commonwealth Mine was said to be one of the richest mines ever found in Arizona, producing over 15 million dollars in Gold.

The Old Pearce Mercantile is open 2 days each year - Thanksgiving weekend - for the Old Pearce Holiday Festival.  Visitors are welcome to view the entire premises FREE during that time.  The owners of the property are presently working on "opening", in phases, parts of the mercantile with hopes of having the whole facility open to visitors in the coming years.  Photo opportunities abound in this area from the old jail which can be see in the background of the picture above, to crumbling old houses with half walls.  We invite you to
 browse through our photo album and enjoy absorbing some of the ambiance of the old west.
