2018 Prescott Relocation Guide
What We Love: Explore them for yourself!
DOWNTOWN HISTORIC AREA
The downtown area of Prescott is full
of many of the city’s oldest and most
historically significant homes and
buildings. The area exudes Old West
history, and quite a few of the buildings
date to the 1800s. Most all of them
have been beautifully restored to the
way they would have looked in the
time period. The area has many hotels,
saloons, and other buildings. One of
the most notable sections of downtown
is Whiskey Row. The area dates to 1864
and was frequently visited by many
famous figures from the Old West such
as the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday.
The area today has many old-style
saloons, restaurants, and bars including
the Palace, which is Arizona’s oldest
saloon.
WATSON LAKE
Watson Lake is one of two reservoirs
at the Granite Dells. A dam that was
built on Granite Creek formed the
lake, which offers many options for
outdoor, recreational activities such as
fishing, boating, kayaking and canoeing
on the lake’s water. The Peavine Trail
passes along the southeastern side
of the lake and goes into the Granite
Dells region. The multi-use trail is
level and fairly easy. Bikers, horseback
riders, hikers, and joggers utilize the
multi-use trial, which is fairly easy.
Birds galore inhabit the area, which
is endorsed by Audubon as a premier
place to birdwatch. Additionally there
are opportunities for rock-climbing
and bouldering as well as campsites
available during the summer.
SHARLOT HALL MUSEUM
The Sharlot Hall Museum is an openair
museum dedicated to the history
and local folklore of Yavapai County.
Sharlot was a well educated pioneer
woman and active politician. The
museum holds artifacts and documents
from her extensive collection. She
donated the items in 1927. The
museum houses many permanent
exhibits related to the history of the
area and includes an aerial photo
exhibit, a Yavapai-Prescott Indian
basket display, and much more. The
