living history
  • Tip Rating:
  • While visiting Sharlot Hall you may have the opportunity to see one of the 'living history' programs that focus on life in Arizona between 1864 and 1867 when Prescott was the terrirotiral capital. The ladies here were preparing a tasty meal of buiscuits and stew while entertaining us with stories of life and cooking in the Old West.

    Fort Misery
  • Tip Rating:
  • Fort Misery is the oldest log building associated with the territory of Arizona. It was built in 1863 by a trader from Sante Fe, New Mexico and later bought and lived in by a prominent local judge. The interesting story of Fort Misery is told in the web site below.

    McCormick Street Arts District
  • Tip Rating:
  • No town is complete without it's funky arts district. There needs to be a place where creative juices are given free expression; where individuality triumphs over conformity; where imagination and verve mean more than money and status. The McCormick St. Arts Distrcict is Precott's artists' neighborhood and you can find all sorts of interesting shops and characters on a stroll down McCormick St.

    Fremont House
  • Tip Rating:
  • As a resident of Fremont 'center of the universe' I was of course excited to find a Fremont House way out here in Arizona. But it turns out there is no connection between the two. My Fremont is named after a town somwhere in Nebraska while the Fremont House in Prescott is named for the famous rascal and fool John C. Fremont who was Arizona's first territorial governor.

    If we needed any reminders that family connections can elevate a dangerously incompetent individual to high office we need look no further than John C. Fremont. From misguided attempts to summit Pike's Peak to aborted California revolutions, Fremont left a wake of death and chaos wherever he went. If it weren't for the clout of his father in-law, senator Thomas Hart Benton, he would have suffered a well deserved ignominious fate. An adventurer, Fremont's biography makes for a good read but be sure to get one that gives the whole story about this 'man of action'.

    Chasing Sunsets

    Sunset against "Thumb

    As much beauty abounds in Prescott to be observed during the daylight hours, sometimes those same scenic backgrounds become even more spectacular as foregrounds silhouetted against the setting sun. If you get a chance to spend a day in town, try to catch the sunset. A good place to go is down Mt. Vernon Street, which going south of downtown, becomes Senator Highway. Follow it around the curve and there will be an unpaved pull-out section to park your car (or bike!) and watch the sun's last rays fade into twilight.

    Heritage Park Zoo
  • Tip Rating:
  • This zoo was really cute. There aren't very many animals there, and they're all pretty much from Arizona, but it's still cool to go see. Plus there aren't any crowds :)

    Smoki Museum
  • Tip Rating:
  • My mom made me go with her to see this museum. Usually I don't really like going to places like this because they talk about how they would kill poor little animals (I'm vegan), but it turned out to be really interesting. They have an excellent library of Native American prehistory and ethnography (Which is why I go to Prescott).

    Downtown Prescott

    County Courthouse in Downtown

    Downtown Prescott is home to the city's beautiful courthouse, which sits on a large piece of land in the middle of downtown surrounded by tall trees. In effect it's really a park with a courthouse in the middle of it. Without question the most famous street in Prescott is Whiskey Row, which in the late 1800s was lined with saloons. Downtown Prescott is also the site of the Prescott Brewing Company, which offers terrific food and beer (see my restaurant page for more information).

    You'd never guess that this day started out on a very rainy note. But by later morning and especially by sunset, all that was left of the storm were a few scattered clouds and a ton of color.
