HISTORIC PRESCOTT Prescott Arizona is everybodys home town; a town for all seasons; just 90-miles north of Phoenix, nestled 5,300 feet, high above the desert, within a cool forest of Cottonwoods and Ponderosa Pines. During the summer it is typically 15 to 20 degrees cooler in Prescott than in Phoenix. It began as a mining town with the discovery of Gold and in 1864 was selected to be the State Capital, a title it held unitl 1887. The City is named after author William H. Prescott whose writings were popular during the Civil War. Fort Whipple, once an army garrison, is now the home of the Prescott V.A. Hospital. Many of the original buildings remain. We suggest that a tour of the Fort Whipple museum next to the V.A. hospital and view the large collection of original artifacts. Prescott still maintains the charm of its territorial capital years with more than 500 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including the the Yavapai County Courthouse, which proudly stands among shaded trees in the downtown square. West of the courthouse, on Mount Vernon Street, stand many original Victorian homes that have been tastefully preserved. These homes contribute to the home town atmosphere. We also rent by the week during spring and summer.
