Join us Saturday, March 14, at 11:00 am for the free online program “Early Bisbee” with Richard W. Graeme IV and Annie Graeme Larkin. Before Bisbee became a bustling mining camp, it was a haven for Native Americans for centuries. However, their presence brought the intrusion of army scouts and prospectors into the Mule Mountains. The coincidental discovery of vast mineral wealth at the future site of Bisbee permanently affixed the fate of the land forever. Rising from the remote desert was a dynamic mining city, a city that grew into one of the most influential communities in the West.
