Don Robertson’s engine may have stopped revving on Oct. 17, but the pistons that he brought to Jerome will continue to ring out throughout the valley as his family says the Gold King Mine and Ghost Town will remain open and operating as a tribute to the man’s life-long work.
Jeannie Leffew, Robertson’s stepdaughter who is current owner and manager of the mine, said the popular and unique attraction will continue as a tribute to Don and her mother Terry Robertson, who started the mine and ghost town 30 years ago. It will continue just as her parents want it to be, she said.
