Pearce, Arizona
Map: © OpenStreetMap contributors — approximate location, not a photo of the site
Pearce grew after Cornish miner James Pearce found gold at what became the Commonwealth Mine in 1894, and had about 1,500 residents by 1919 before the mine closed for good in the late 1940s. The 1896 Old Pearce General Store, a few other historic buildings and the Our Lady of Victory church, listed on the National Register in 2004, still stand along US-191.
Several buildings are open or visible from the highway; confirm the store's hours before a trip.
