Liberty Theatre & Gifts — Local services in Jerome

Jerome (a historic haunted copper mining town) was definitely my fave part of my AZ adventure trip. And I went to all the canyons, Sedona etc. My dad and I took this trip and he said well we’ve gotta go to Prescott (we’ve got some family there) which means we have to go through Jerome. Man it sure is a cool town. Cool because it isn’t pretentious and gentrified. You have to slow down and take in the history and scenery.

This shop was by far my favorite in Jerome. If you want history, chill, non pretentious Jerome vibes - this is the shop for you. The shop came long after the upstairs Liberty Theater. It’s historic and has some cool history if you take the time to read about it prior to going. The theater never converted to running sound. It’s a gem of a cinema and as Cinematreasures.org says “The auditorium part became a virtual time capsule for years.”

I would’ve liked to stay longer and catch some of the history films showing upstairs. Walking up and rounding the corner is cool. Lots of good iconic movie memorabilia. It’s just like if you enjoy film and history there you go.

Chris helped me at checkout and let me know I can donate to the theater, and I happily did- absolutely worth it to me.

*Owner feedback : Def think the owners need a Venmo & Zelle QR code in window and at counter. I’m one of those people who donates just bc I want to even if I don’t have time to stay and shop. :)

I picked up a Zoetrope (early optical eye toys that create the illusion of movement). These things are like a pre film staple IMO.

This shop is THE only place from all my stops from Scottsdale/Phoenix, Lake Powell, Antelope canyon & Grand Canyon (to name a few) where I picked t shirts!

They simply called to me. Makes me think of a west of days gone by. Motorcycles, music, easy living. Def visit this place if you’re lucky enough to be traveling through Jerome.

Last thing- I feel like a teen bc I’ve literally worn this Javelina (similar to wild boar) shirt nonstop, since getting back home to Houston! It’s my...

Loved jerome, all the shops, the people, everything. We were literally buying stuff from every store but there is "that one" where nothing but bad vibes and rude people. Walked in, never was greeted and in fact, felt like we were in the way. My husband and I were looking at items and one older blonde employee walked up, looked at us up and down and waited for us to move out of way. We were the only customers in there(now I Know why) the store gave off a bad vibe like the worker was miserable working there. We kept looking around and the service was just horrible. We we're even looking at stuff behind counter and all they did was fold shirts never cracking a smile.They never once spoke. Maybe this is where all the evil spirits hang out in Jerome because every other store was awesome. waste of time. Didnt let it run our trip as we carried on to the next shop and gave them our money. Won't be returning there and not reccommending to our family and friends to stop by either. No loss on our part. The rest of jerome is amazing! *side note, got to reading other reviews and unfortunste to see I wasn't the only one that got bad service. Guess its common there and she's known for it. Maybe the owner should do a reconsider her and bring some joy and more $$ to the business having...

When looking at the other reviews, it seems that this place may be like Luke going into the cave. What's in the Liberty Theater and gift shop? "Only what you take with you. "

I have my share of bad experiences but I've been here quite a few times over the last 30 years and have never encountered anything but kindness. I like to be left alone for the most part but usually get the "let me know if you need anything". I was there Monday 6/12/23 and the owner was outside having a chat. He acknowledged us and told us to let him know if we had any questions. Perfect!

We always enjoy our time there. One of our good friends has a collection of projectors and has the one in the front of the store.

This place is always a must...
