Dating as far back as 1863, Prescott has a long history steeped in rich tradition.  Originally a gold mining town, Prescott was the first capital of the Arizona Territories.  These stories are preserved in many of Prescott’s local museums on historic Whiskey Row which includes some of Arizona’s oldest buildings.

Prescott’s charming museums allow you to explore the lives of the early Arizona settlers. Pristine relics and artifacts from the pioneer days will help you to appreciate over a century of local Prescott history.  You will also see the work of modern day artists.  Today Prescott is still a mecca of creativity, shaped by modern arts and culture.

If you are visiting Prescott, be sure to take a look at some of these exceptional galleries and museums:

Prescott Fine Arts Association - supporting arts education and building community through cultural events and workshops

Sharlot Hall Museum - Exploring education adventures in human and natural history through festivals, events and performances.

Smoki Museum - museum of the American Indian in the Prescott Area

Phippen Art Museum - Center for American Western Art

Artistic Images of Prescott - Fine Art Gallery, a locals favorite
