Bisbee Overview

Bisbee lies about 90 miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona along Interstate 10 south on the State Highway 80 exit. It is located south of the nearby towns of Benson and Tombstone, Az. What was once a wild west mining camp in the notorious Brewery Gulch with saloons, gambling and shady ladies, Bisbee was actually the largest city between Saint Louis and San Francisco in the early 1900s.

Today Bisbee has become a tourist attraction, artist colony and retirement haven. Vacationers come from all over the world to experience the charm that remains from years ago. For more information visit www.bisbeearizona.com.
