Walk the very streets where the Great Whiskey Row Fire of 1900 raged as your guide recreates the drama of ordinary citizens becoming heroes. Feel the urgency as flames engulfed building after building, and witness the remarkable resilience of a community determined to rebuild their beloved town. From the historic courthouse plaza to the elegant Victorian mansions of Nob Hill, discover meticulously researched tales of famous figures and everyday pioneers.

Ghost tour and history too!

Very entertaining and Shane made it very exciting and educational as to Prescott history. It was a nice walking tour and interesting to see the spots. We probably have like going inside the buildings better but understand the parameters. Overall, it was excellent.

The Haunted Capitol

Shane gave us a terrific tour around Prescott’s Whiskey Row. We enjoyed learning both the history and the horror of the area. The timing of our tour was also great, as we experienced the sunset leading into an eerie dusk on the trip.
