Prescott History

We spent an afternoon at the Sharlot Hall Museum complex in old Prescott, just one block from Whiskey Row. Jim is standing in front of the first Governor's Mansion of Arizona. Sharlot Hall was a "feisty broad" of the first rank. She was a poet, writer, historian, traveler, politician, and political activist. It was her goal to establish a museum to house Indian artifacts to preserve the culture of Arizona. She once took a 10 week covered wagon trip from Prescott to the Grand Canyon to see what it was like!
