Muheim Heritage House: A Glimpse into Bisbee's Past

Step back in time at the Muheim Heritage House, a beautifully restored Queen Anne-style home that once belonged to Joseph and Carmelita Muheim. Built in stages between 1898 and 1915, the house reflects the growing prosperity of the Muheim family, who played a significant role in Bisbee's development. Joseph Muheim, a Swiss immigrant, made his fortune in Bisbee through brewing and real estate. A guided tour of the house offers a fascinating look at early 20th-century life in Bisbee. The docents share stories of the Muheim family and provide insights into the history of the town. The house is furnished with period pieces, giving visitors a sense of what it was like to live in Bisbee during its mining boom. From the gardens, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the historic homes clinging to the hillsides of Brewery Gulch. The Muheim Heritage House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a testament to Bisbee's rich cultural heritage. It is also available for special events such as small weddings and receptions.
