History
Prescott served as an early territorial seat under Governor John Noble Goodwin and later promoted professional rodeo culture; many downtown streets and buildings reflect that 19th-century civic growth.
Conservation
Stay on sidewalks, avoid climbing murals or historic façades, and carry out any trash; Prescott’s arid environment and local art projects benefit from low-impact visitation.
