Have you ever stumbled upon a place that instantly felt like home? That's exactly what happened when Cassandra and I visited Bisbee, Arizona this weekend. From the moment we arrived until our reluctant departure, something about this historic mining town grabbed hold of my soul and wouldn't let go.
We took the famous Copper Queen Mine tour, 1,500 feet in the ground on a mining train. What makes this experience exceptional isn't just the fascinating history—it's the authenticity. Your guides aren't actors who memorized scripts after a weekend training course; they're actual miners who helped clear fallen rocks and reinforce timbers when the tour was being established. Since opening in 1976, over a million visitors have journeyed into these tunnels to experience a crucial piece of American copper mining history.
The tour yields its own surprises. As we were exiting the mine, I felt the unmistakable sensation of a presence near one of the shafts—the hair on my arm standing on end. When I quietly asked who was there, I heard an answer in my mind: "It's just Roy." These unexpected connections are part of what makes places like Bisbee so special. Beyond the mine, the town itself feels like stepping through time, with preserved historic buildings and an atmosphere that can't be manufactured.
Bisbee has joined the very short list of places that have made me feel I could stop and never leave. I'm curious—what places have affected you this way? Where have you felt that instant, soul-deep connection, as though some part of you has lived there before? Share your stories with us at [email protected].
