St. Thomas of the Valley Episcopal Church

The Arizona Copper Art Museum is at 849 Main Street in Clarkdale and shows objects made of copper. It is open every day from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and closes on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Admission is $11 for an adult, $10 for a senior, veteran or student, $5 for youth aged 10 to 17, and $3 for a child aged 5 to 9. The number is (928) 649-1858. Allow an hour or more if you read the labels, and call ahead around holidays. Ask about group rates and about access if stairs are a problem for anyone in your party.

Clarkdale Newstand is a bar at 911 Main St in Clarkdale. It is open Thursday through Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and closed on Wednesday, so plan around that one day. The number is (320) 214-8112 and email goes to info@clarkdalenewstand.com. Since it opens late morning, it covers lunch as well as the evening. Call ahead for a larger group, and ask about food service hours, which sometimes end before the bar closes. Special events and any holiday closures are worth checking before you drive over, because the posted weekly schedule does not cover them.

Stardust Books is a bookstore at 915 Main St in Clarkdale. It is closed on Monday and Tuesday. From Wednesday through Friday it is open from 9 in the morning to 6 in the evening. On Saturday and Sunday it opens at 10 and closes at 6. The store sells books, and it is easy to stop in while walking along the main street in town. To ask if a certain title is on the shelf, call (386) 347-0464 before you make the trip. The website has more about the shop and what it carries.

Clarkdale Public Works runs the town's water utility and its wastewater treatment plant from 890 Main Street, and it also administers the curbside trash and recycling contract. The office is open 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon on Friday, so a Friday afternoon call will not be answered. The main number is (928) 639-2450, and there is a separate emergency line on (928) 639-2520, which is the one for a main break or a backup out of hours. Billing is on the town site.

The Dream West Caboose serves food at 900 Main St in Clarkdale. It is open every day from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., so it works for breakfast and lunch but not for dinner. The number is (928) 634-0334. Being on Main Street, it is easy to pair with a walk around the older part of town or a stop on the way to the river. Menus and short notice changes tend to appear on the Facebook and Instagram pages. Call ahead on holidays, and ask about to go orders if you are heading out for the day.

Saint Cecilia Catholic Mission is a roman catholic church at 850 Main Street in Clarkdale. The map data marks it as a christian place of worship, and a mission usually means it is served from a larger parish rather than having its own full-time staff. We do not have a phone number for it, which matters, because there is no number here to call about service times. We also do not have office hours or a mailing address beyond the street. Ask at a nearby parish if you need the current schedule, and we will add times once we can confirm them.

Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church meets at 330 Scenic Drive in Clarkdale, and draws people from Clarkdale and Cottonwood. Worship times are not posted here, and they often shift around holidays and through the summer, so call (928) 634-4102 or check the church site before a first visit. Ask what time the service starts, whether there is a midweek gathering, and what happens with children during worship. Newcomers usually want to know about parking, how long the service runs, and how people dress, and a short phone call settles all of that before you go.

Camp Verde Baptist Church meets at 299 West Hollamon Street in Camp Verde. It is a Baptist congregation with Sunday services and a weekday Bible study, and services are also streamed online for people who cannot attend in person. Sermons are posted as well. The phone number is (928) 567-3324. Service times can change with the season and with holidays, so call or check the church website before a first visit. The church is near the center of town, a short walk from the older streets. Visitors are welcome at regular services.
