Prescott was Arizona's first territorial capital, a mining boomtown where gold, ambition and the Wild West collided. The stories behind these streets are bigger, wilder and stranger than most visitors realize.
On this 2-hour, 1.5-mile daytime walk your local guide leads you from Courthouse Plaza along Whiskey Row to the Victorian mansions of Nob Hill. Hear what happened at the Palace Saloon the night the Row burned in 1900, why one mansion's family connections reach all the way to the U.S. Senate, which saloon hosted a rock legend nobody expected, and why Prescott claims the world's oldest rodeo. Stops include the Yavapai County Courthouse, the Palace Saloon, the Hassayampa Inn, the Elks Theater and Nob Hill.
Every story is originally researched by co-founder and local author Susan Johnson. Mother and son owned, five generations of Arizona roots, 2,000+ verified reviews. No scripts, no recycled facts.
Comfortable shoes and water advised. Well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome.
