The town prides itself on the preservation of buildings
like the Jim Fritz Museum, the old jail, the historic post office, and the
old train station.
Chloride’s
Volunteer Fire Department, the oldest in
Arizona, proudly displays its 1939 Ford
Fire Engine to visitors. At high-noon on Saturdays, you’ll be
entertained by gun-fight troupes re-enacting comical scenes of the
Old West.

The remains of the
Tennessee and Schuylkill mines are east of town but closed to the public. West of town is an old cemetery that is worth a look.
Outside of town you can see the
Chloride Murals, as well as a scattering
of ancient petroglyphs.
To get there, take Tennessee Avenue,
Chloride’s
main road, past the post office then follow the signs. This unpaved
road generally requires a high-clearance vehicle. With a four-wheel
drive, it is possible to continue up a steep and rocky clearance where
more mining remains can be seen.
To get to
Chloride, travel northwest on US 93 for
approximately 20 miles from
Kingman,
Arizona. The turnoff to
Chloride is well-marked between mile
markers 52 and 53, then east three miles on a paved road.
