About this experience
Evening walking tour through downtown Prescott AZ covering the haunted history of Whiskey Row, the Hassayampa Inn, the Palace Saloon (pouring since 1877), the 1900 fire that burned down and rebuilt the row, and the ghost stories that come with a town founded as the original Arizona Territorial capital. About a mile of easy walking on flat downtown sidewalks. Strong choice for Halloween week, but runs year-round.
Plan your Ghosts of Downtown Prescott Haunted History Tour
Downtown Prescott AZ wraps around the Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza, with Whiskey Row running the west side. The Palace Saloon has been pouring since 1877 and Wyatt Earp drank there. The 1900 fire burned and rebuilt the row in stone. This tour walks that history with the haunted-history angle that comes with a 160-year-old territorial capital.
What the tour covers
About a mile of flat downtown sidewalks. Stops at the Palace Saloon, the Hassayampa Inn (the historic 1927 hotel many ghost stories center on), the Bird Cage Saloon, the Yavapai County Courthouse, and several other documented haunted-history spots on Whiskey Row. Local guide narrates the territorial capital history alongside the ghost stories.
