Pearce, AZ

Pearce is an old ghostown formerly populated by people who came to mine for gold, silver, and other precious minerals. History goes that a young man found a rock and thought it was heavy so he took it to a friend who found gold inside.
Pearce was having their annual festival with music, goods, and historical items galore.












This is the old Commonwealth mine. If you make it to the top, there's box to leave your name. It eventually caved in killing many and ending an era.


This building is the interior of the church's old rectory complete with 1970's decor.








Jim and Evelyn showed us an old church they purchased to preserve as a historical site. Jim plans to fix it up and turn it into a resale clothing shop for a battered women's shelter.


Sue was prepared for Sweet Evangelism. She's packaging cookies with tracks to pass out at the Pearce festival.
