The Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott, Arizona, is a premier heritage site dedicated to preserving the history and culture of Arizona’s Central Highlands. Founded in 1928 by Sharlot M. Hall, Arizona’s first territorial historian, the museum began with the restored 1864 Governor’s Mansion and has since expanded into an immersive, four-acre campus.
Explore historic buildings such as Fort Misery, the state’s oldest surviving log cabin, the elegant Bashford House, and a replica 1860s schoolhouse. The museum also features engaging exhibits spanning prehistoric cultures, pioneer life, and Arizona’s path to statehood.
Whiskey Row in Prescott, Arizona, is a storied stretch of Montezuma Street, famous for its lively saloons and colorful past. In the late 1800s, more than 40 bars lined the block, serving miners, cowboys, and lawmen in the rugged frontier town.
After a catastrophic fire in 1900 destroyed much of downtown, the saloons were quickly rebuilt, preserving the row’s reputation as a hub of entertainment. Today, Whiskey Row blends history with modern charm, featuring restored bars, restaurants, and shops.
The historic downtown Prescott Plaza is the heart of the city and a gathering place steeped in tradition. Anchored by the iconic Yavapai County Courthouse, the plaza is surrounded by tree-lined walkways, statues, and historic buildings. Visitors can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, seasonal events, and the sense of stepping back into Arizona’s territorial past.
Watson Lake, in north Prescott, is a stunning reservoir framed by the otherworldly Granite Dells, massive, weathered boulders that create a dramatic and scenic landscape. Popular for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding, the lake also offers excellent hiking opportunities. Our hiking trail winds through the Dells and along the lake’s edge, providing unforgettable views and a perfect outdoor finale to your Prescott experience.
