When you land
Things to do in Prescott
Prescott served as the capital of the Arizona Territory and still feels like it, with Victorian homes on shady streets, a stately courthouse on a tree-filled plaza and the saloons of Whiskey Row facing it across Montezuma Street. Set at more than 5,000 feet among pine forest and granite boulders, the town has become a favorite for retirees, second-home owners and Phoenix families escaping summer heat. Healthcare, tourism, government and education drive the economy, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s western campus makes aviation part of local life, with student pilots keeping Prescott Regional Airport busy.
