BACKGROUND:
For over 100 years, Cochise County has been home to numerous churches, many with outstanding architectural features. Bisbee is fortunate to have had financial help from the mining industry, the dedicated mining industry, and their families, who supported the construction of these houses of worship. The “boom days” of mining-inspired elaborate structures in Old Bisbee and surrounding communities, and several congregations built post-modern churches.
