PRESCOTT, ARIZONA

Prescott Museum Circuit

Museums and historic landmarks, Self-guided tours, Scenic drives

An independent PrescottGO itinerary linking three museums with different perspectives on the region. Travel between them by car, bicycle, or a combination of walking and driving that suits your visit; the Phippen Museum lies north of downtown.

Start with territorial buildings and collections at Sharlot Hall Museum, continue to Indigenous history and contemporary expression at the Museum of Indigenous People, and finish with Western art at the Phippen Museum. These institutions tell complementary stories. This is a suggested sequence, rather than a package ticket: check each museum's official site for current admission, open days, exhibitions, and accessibility before arranging your day.
