First Territorial Capital and Governor's Mansion, 1864. Now part of Sharlot Hall Museum
First Prescott Courthouse, circa 1885
Prescott (Yavapai: ʼWi:kwatha Ksikʼita; English pronunciation: /ˈprɛskət/ /ˈprɛskɒt/ pres-kət or pres-kot) is a city in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. According to 2010 Census, the population of the city is 39,843.[2] The city is the county seat of Yavapai County.[3] In 1864 Prescott was designated as the capital of the Arizona Territory, replacing the temporary capital at Fort Whipple.[4] The Territorial Capital was moved to Tucson in 1867. Prescott again became the Territorial Capital in 1877, until Phoenix became the capital in 1889.
The towns of Prescott Valley, 7 miles (11 km) east; Chino Valley, 16 miles (26 km) north; Dewey-Humboldt, 13 miles (21 km) east, and Prescott, together comprise what is locally known as the Quad-City area. This also sometimes refers to central Yavapai County in general, which would include the towns of: Mayer, Paulden, Wilhoit, and Williamson Valley. Combined with these smaller communities the area had a population of 103,260 as of 2007. Prescott is the center of the Prescott Metropolitan Area, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as all of Yavapai County. In 2010 Yavapai County had 211,073 residents according to the U.S. Census Bureau, making Metro Prescott the third-largest metropolitan area in Arizona, after Phoenix (4.2 million) and Tucson (1 million). Metro Prescott will eventually become part of the Arizona Sun Corridor megaregion, with a total estimated megapolitan population of 7.4 million people in 2025.
The Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe reservation is located adjacent to and partially within the borders of Prescott.
Prescott, Arizona Day Trip ♥
My boyfriend Brandon and I took a day trip up to Downtown Prescott in Arizona last week! we had a bunch of fun and I decided to make a quick video of the different things we did there. Below are a list of the places (and a short description of each) we went to and the order they appear in the video. I hope you guys like it! Don't hesitate to give me some feedback!
1. Bill's Pizza
- Cute little pizza shop that me and my family always visit when we go up there.
2. Elk's Theatre & Performing Arts Center
- A theatre that was built in 1904. It was an opera house, a movie theatre, and it has been completely restored to its original state and they still host shows! Completely free to visit, it was super cool and interesting! (It's also haunted)
3. Armadilla Wax Works Inc
- Brandon and I had a lot of fun here! You can hand dip different kinds of candles for super cheap! I think it would be really fun to bring my little sister here.
4. Cortez Street Emporium
- Basically an antique mall. Brandon got some really cool vintage zippo lighters and I found an adorable vintage Kewpie Doll! I didn't buy it though. I'm emo now.
5. Frozen Frannie's
- We ran in here to grab something to drink and we discovered the cutest little frozen yogurt shop! I loved the interior design of the place. They had a bunch of vintage car and train memorabilia, including a toy train that went all around the shop!
6. Ian Russell Gallery of Fine Art
- I'm an art freak, so needless to say, when I went into this place I had a full on Fan-girl moment. The clip shown in the video is the Geoffrey Gersten Collection, which is extremely Mark Ryden inspired (I obviously had to buy a print).
7. Yavapai County Courthouse Square
- Pretty self explanatory. It is a park that surrounds a historic courthouse. Brandon and I took a stroll before heading back down to the valley.

1/16/2015 Link-Up on Prescott Courthouse Square
Four of us met on January 16th, 2015 for a Link-Up on Prescott Courthouse Square. Bert led off with a discussion about how we seem to only get together as a community after bad things happen; “Hegy Boo” followed up with his opinion about the use of drones by the military; Dennis Duvall had some thoughts about war; and finally Starr Bennett read some thoughts on constitutional issues and her interaction with the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office and county justice system.
Join us and add your voice to the mix!! We meet every Friday at 5:00pm in Prescott Courthouse Square Plaza.

12/26/2014 Link-Up on Prescott Courthouse Square (excerpt)
We finally had a chance to record one of our Link-Up events on Courthouse Square, though the iPhone died after just the first twelve minutes or so of filming. It was just three of us — “Blind Man” Bert, the event organizer, a veteran who wanted to be known as “Hegy Boo” and another very articulate gentleman who unfortunately opted out of being recorded, so he does not appear in this video at all. We talked in round-robin fashion for about ninety minutes overall, but unfortunately this twelve-minute excerpt is all that survived. [Next time I’ll use my iPad which doesn’t glitch!] It seems that Bert dominates, but actually we all got to speak (and listen) extensively over the course of that ninety minute discussion.
This excerpt will give you an idea of what Link-Ups are right now. Though it’s a small group participating now, our audience is likely to grow and that we’ll begin to attract a diverse range of speakers and points of view. We’re also now meeting Fridays at 5:30pm in Prescott Courthouse Square Plaza, which should make it easier for people to attend just off work, but it will be a bit colder after dark!

1/2/2015 Link-Up on Prescott Courthouse Square
It was bitter-cold on our first 2015 Link-Up on Prescott Courthouse Square, but five of us braved the cold and got a few words out. “Blind Man” Bert, the event organizer had a few things to say about current events in Congress, and also on what has been going on with the NYPD police. “Sargon” announced his candidacy for a County Board of Supervisors position. He explained his point of view briefly. Just from the few minutes were out, our teeth were chattering so we closed down considerably earlier than usual. In the future, Bert will come prepared with a number of talking points worked out. Often it only takes a bit of a spark and then our conversations can run easily over an hour, even if a handful of us show up in the cold. We’re still working out what this weekly event is, but with each week we seem to be snagging one or two more regular folks who show so over time and as it gets warmer we may develop a following. We’ll see!!
We meet every Friday at 5:00pm in Prescott Courthouse Square Plaza… but definitely dress warm as it gets cold pretty quick at that time of day!

We have spent the last year painstakingly remodeling and decorating this beautiful little cabin in Ponderosa Park. Established in 1866 Ponderosa Park is an in-holding neighborhood of approximately 250 homes south of Prescott, AZ. The cabin is nestled 5.5 miles from the Yavapai County Courthouse square and famous Whiskey Row. The community of Ponderosa Park is surrounded by the Prescott National Forest. The Prescott National Forest provides endless outdoor recreational opportunities. We often see wildlife including mule deer and javelina from the front porch.
Enter the cabin via the covered front porch into a warm and open living area. The floor plan features lots of light, hickory hardwood floors, pine trim, beautiful art, views of the pines and surrounding forest. Off one end of the kitchen is the dining room, be sure to “pin” your home on our world map. It features a table with seating for seven. The fully stocked kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a breakfast bar with two stools. The living room has a couch that is a pull out sleeper with pillow top memory foam mattress; the other couch is a love seat. There is a 54 inch smart television which is connected to basic cable and wifi. You can play music or stream television. The master bedroom features a king memory foam mattress and 32 inch smart television. There is an on-suite ¾ bath with tile surround, linen storage and closet. There is also a private covered patio with seating for two. There are two guest bedrooms, one has a memory foam queen bed and the other has a twin bamboo mattress. Both have closets. All three bedrooms are carpeted, have ceiling fans, black out shades and are equipped with extra blankets and various pillows to ensure a cozy stay. In the hall is a closet with washer and dryer. Cabin has books, cards, games and horseshoe pits for your added enjoyment. Expect clean linens, hand soap, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, toilet paper and paper towels upon your arrival.
The exterior features a covered front patio perfect to enjoy morning coffee or an evening adult beverage. There is a large outdoor table with seating for six. Around the side is a detached one car garage with a propane BBQ grill, extra refrigerator, 2 folding tables and extra outdoor chairs. The one car detached garage (18x10) provides a convenient place to lock up mountain bikes, quads or outdoor gear when exploring downtown Prescott. The garage door measures 8’10” x 6’11”. The front driveway allows parking for 3 vehicles with room for an additional car by the garage.
Ponderosa Park is a great jumping off point to miles of Forest Service Roads and Mountain Bike Trails. We hope you enjoy the feeling and serenity of this special place as much as we do.

The 6th Annual Thumb Butte Festival
Thumb Butte Fest showcases Prescott history, music, arts
By Karen DeSpain, The Daily Courier
The Thumb Butte Festival 2010 kicks off Sept. 25 with an eye on Arizona's statehood celebration that begins to roll out in 2011.
The state's 100th birthday is actually Feb. 14, 2012, but communities around the state plan to launch activities in the months leading up to the big day.
The state's Centennial Committee has selected the Thumb Butte Festival as one of three Best of Arizona Events to participate in the myriad of statewide activities that will mark Arizona's entry into the Union as the 48th state
The 2010 festival will be a dress rehearsal for the 2011 show that will kick off Arizona's birthday party, said Deborah Thurston, executive director of the Prescott Area Arts and Humanities Council, sponsor of the festival.
Thurston said the Thumb Butte Festival won its Best of Arizona Events designation because it covers a broad spectrum of talent, is still young and evolving on the arts scene, and the event's timing is a good fit.
This year's festival begins at 5:30 p.m. on the Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza with a fashion show, An Evening at the Opera House, by the Elks Opera Guild, whose members will model gowns and eveningwear from 1905 to 1940.
Performers on the evening's bill are Jonathan Best, known for his equal parts gospel tenor, boogie-woogie piano and avant-garde sound collage; songwriter, singer and storyteller Rita Cantu; flamenco music and dance group Rio Flamenco; classical vocalist Lecia Breen; and a special appearance by Brad York, who emulates Frank Sinatra.
The festival continues from 10 to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 25 and Sept. 26, with 15 venues at a variety of locations offering the spectrum of entertainment. The Verde Valley Bird Dancers and Gourd Dancers from the Yavapai-Apache Nation will perform at Smoki Museum, along with Micki Shelton's unconventional romance, Fred & Mary, which explores Arizona history through the lives of Fred Harvey and Mary Colter. Paul Sprawl, whose approach to guitar is beyond musicianship, will play his guitar at the Hotel Vendome.
Local artists will set up exhibits for festival visitors both Saturday and Sunday. Vision de Vidal Studio is lining up artist demonstrations and artwork for sale. Another group of artists, whose work ranges from oils to sculpture to woodworking and jewelry and fiber art, will show off their creativity at R.D. Branstrator's dental practice and studio on Iron Springs Road. Other participating art venues include the Mary Schulte Studio, Eye on the Mountain, Random Art Gallery and Gary Cassidy Studio.
Sharlot Hall Museum plans displays of military encampments from the Civil War to the Spanish American War, cowboy poets, including Gail Steiger, and a presentation of Wash Day Blue by the Prescott Victorian Society.
Prescott is blessed to be chosen as the city for the state centennial (celebration) to kick off, Thurston said. The Prescott Area Arts and Humanities Council hopes to help our new city tourism department in their effort to promote tourism and the local economy.
Beginning Sept. 18, storyboards describing each participant in the Thumb Butte Festival will be on display in the lobby of the Hassayampa Inn so that visitors can go there first and get all the information they need about events and their locations, Thurston said. Also, complete details are available at the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, area hotels and at prescottartscouncil.org or by e-mail at bestofazthumbbuttefest@gmail.com.
There are the rumors about 'flash mob scenes' all over town, Thurston said, giving away one of the many surprises that will entertain randomly over the weekend: a cattle drive up Gurley Street.
Admission is free.

SUMMARY
=======
Arizona ( (listen); Navajo: Hoozdo Hahoodzo Navajo pronunciation: [xòːztò xɑ̀xòːtsò]; O'odham: Alĭ ṣonak Uto-Aztecan pronunciation: [ˡaɺi ˡʂonak]) is a U.S. state in the southwestern region of the United States. It is also part of the Western and the Mountain states. It is the sixth largest and the 14th most populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix. Arizona, one of the Four Corners states, is bordered by New Mexico to the east, Utah to the north, Nevada and California to the west, and Mexico to the south, as well as the southwestern corner of Colorado. Arizona's border with Mexico is 389 miles (626 km) long, on the northern border of the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912, coinciding with Valentine's Day. Historically part of the territory of Alta California in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with very hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; some mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Alpine, and Tucson. In addition to the Grand Canyon National Park, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the United States, with more than 300,000 citizens. Although federal law gave all Native Americans the right to vote in 1924, Arizona excluded those living on reservations in the state from voting until the state Supreme Court ruled in favor of Native American plaintiffs in Trujillo v. Garley (1948).
Shed Fire Destroys Home in Prescott
A shed fire destroyed the home of a Prescott family over the weekend. Saturday morning, Prescott Fire Department and Central Yavapai Fire District responded to an explosion on Mosher Lane in Prescott Heights. The family was able to evacuate the home before the fire spread. No injuries were sustained.
The fire crews worked for more than three hours to completely put out the flames. This was the second structure fire in six days and may be caused from the unsafe disposal of wood ashes, authorities say.
