The old mining town of Globe (copper, silver) is a good place from which to visit the cave dwellings occupied by Salado Indians in the 13th and 14th centuries (Besh-Ba-Gowah, Tonto).
With a population of 6,062, the town is located in a valley between the Apache and Pinal Mountains.
The Cobre Valley Center for the Arts in Globe was established by local artists to showcase their work. It is presently located in the 1906 Old Gila County Courthouse. Exhibits at the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts include sculptures, jewelry, hand weaving, quilts, photography and other works of art.
The Gila County Historical Museum in Globe showcases the native, pioneer and mining histories of the area. The museum building dates from 1914, and was once the rescue building for the Old Dominion Copper Mine located across the street.
