Headquarters of the Prescott National Forest, Arizona Department of Transportation, Veterans Administration Medical Center of Prescott, Yavapai County, the City of Prescott, and the Prescott Public Schools are all major employers.
Excluding government, tourism ranks as the main income resource for the community. Prescott is a tourist attraction not only from other parts of the U.S., but for visitors from around the world who are attracted to the beautiful surroundings, wonderful climate, and year-round activities. Full convention facilities for groups of all sizes are available. Sports camps and church affiliated camps are also significant contributors to Prescott’s overall economy.
Top employment opportunities exist in the medical field, retail and tourism. With the development of the Prescott Airpark and Commerce Center, new opportunities are being created in manufacturing, distribution and office operations.

The Palace Bar first opened its doors in September 1877. Although Whiskey Row was known for its many saloons, The Palace was much more than a fancy “watering hole". Men came in to check for notices of work available; it served as an election central for several area political races and cattle spreads; and mineral claims were bought and sold over the bar. The Palace is still considered the oldest frontier bar in Arizona and perhaps the most well- known and historic restaurant and saloon in the state. 120 S Montezuma St. (928) 541-1996 | www.historicpalace.com

The Museum’s buildings form an architectural sequence spanning the years from the founding of Prescott in 1864 to the present. The exhibits and the Museum’s collections of artifacts (clothing, tools, vehicles, weapons), photographs, documents, and buildings tell the stories of those who settled Arizona and the West, of the Native Americans who preceded them, and of the area’s rich natural environment. Completed in 1979, the Museum Center is the hub around which Museum activities revolve. In the lobby you’ll find an exhibit about the founder of the Museum, Sharlot M. Hall. (928) 445-3122 | www.sharlot.org
The Governors Mansion was built on this site in 1864 from Ponderosa pine logs cut nearby. It housed the first Territorial Governor, John Goodwin, and his staff. Large and well built, it is called a “mansion” in comparison to the tents, wagons, and crude cabins that were homes for the rest of Prescott’s new citizens in 1864. In 1927 Sharlot M. Hall moved into the Governor’s Mansion and opened it as a museum.
The Bashford House (Gift Shop and Museum), is an excellent example of Prescott’s Victorian architecture, the height of housing fashion for the thirty years before statehood. The Bashford House was built in 1877.
Fort Misery is the oldest log building associated with the Territory of Arizona. It was built on the banks of Granite Creek (two blocks south of the Museum) in 1863-64. Sharlot Hall had it disassembled in 1934 and reassembled on the Museum grounds.
The Fremont House, built in 1875, served as the home of the fifth territorial governor of Arizona(1878-1881) . The sophisticated construction of this house reflects the rapid growth of Prescott during the ten years after 1864.
