Itinerary
Start at the Rough Rider Statue on Courthouse Plaza. Prescott won the territorial capital over Tucson in 1864, and gold miners, governors and Wild West legends all passed through these grounds.
Experience the drama of The Great Whiskey Row Fire of 1900 on the very streets where it happened.
Whiskey Row's most storied bar. Hear what happened the night the Row burned in 1900, when citizens carried the bar across the street to the courthouse lawn, and ask about the bullet holes still in the wood.
Built in 1927 with 67 rooms, original furnishings and Arizona's last staff-operated historic elevator. The Hassayampa has hosted Hollywood stars and territorial power brokers, and the stories go deeper than the lobby.
Where Prescott's culture and community converge under one historic roof, and the building's role in one of America's most famous military chapters.

We all loved our experience with Shane. Shane was very informative and entertaining with a friendly personality. The tour wasn't too long or short. He was open to questions and some discussion. Everything went very well. Nick at Freaky Foot Tour Company was so accommodating to work with our schedule. Thank you so much Nick for all your help. Thank you so much Shane we all enjoyed our tour
This tour was excellent! It was an easy walk through the main historic streets of Prescott. Shane made the city come ALIVE with his in-depth historical knowledge and kept it interesting and fun by peppering in local lore. I recommend this excursion without hesitation!
While this tour didn’t cover a lot of physical ground, Shane did an exceptional job bringing the history of Prescott to life. Since the town isn’t that large, we only walked a few blocks around the main town square. Within that fairly compact area there was a lot of compelling history to learn. As a legitimate historian, Shane was great at weaving together verifiable historical accounts with town lore. Thanks for a great tour Shane!
