Arizona’s first prison, the Yuma Territorial Prison is a former prison in Yuma that has now doubled up to serve as a historical museum and goes by the name of Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park. As a prison, it was in operation for only 33 years after accepting its first inmate on 1 July 1876 but its number had swelled considerably to include a total of 3069 inmates before it was shut down in 1909. Some of the most gruesome offenders of 19th and 20th centuries had served their sentences in this famous prison house.

The Castle Dome Landing is a ghost town in the Castle Dome Mountains of Yuma County in Arizona. It is located less than an hour away from the city. It was settled as a transport depot and mining camp during early 1870s but it sadly fell into an irreversible cycle of decline and was deserted a few years later. Today it stands as a museum consisting of over 50 restored buildings, a saloon, a hotel, a mill and a blacksmith shop that together tell a spooky story of those halcyon days.
