Vincent Rousseau

This place is pretty cool! Had fun checking it out with my son. Multiple buildings to check out. Fun way to learn a little history and would recommend this place for sure.

Melanie --

Wonderful museum about the history of Arizona, dating back to prehistoric times. Many informative exhibits. We learned so much about the state we call home! Highly recommend.

Elissa Masson

Really fascinating place. Gorgeous grounds and knowledgeable docents. Very Educational

Leila D.

We came from Phoenix for a Living History event and it was so worth the trip! Beautiful grounds with a Memorial Rose Garden honoring the towns influential women. Multiple pioneer buildings with Volunteers in character telling you about life during the era. We especially loved hearing a gentlemen explain to us in detail what it would have been like travelling on a horse drawn coach through the southwest. The printing press was super cool and they let my son print a newspaper page. Also the woman explaining medical practices of the day and showing different tools and their uses was very interesting and personable. We got there an hour after it started- so about 11 am, till the Event was over at 3. We should have come earlier because it was not long enough to see everything. Our kids were super interested in everything too. Absolutely will be back sooner than later!

Renae Begay

The grounds/gardens are immaculate. Every docent was friendly and knowledgeable. Children under 12 are Free! I was very impressed with the indigenous portion of the museum and the short film about the hilltop sites. This is a MUST SEE when visiting Prescott.

Jacob Pelletier

I loved it! My wife and I went earlier in the day and I was amazed at all of the exhibits there are a total of 9 buildings. And we spent over a hour in just one of them. Will have to return again to truly appreciate the stories told. One of the best parts of our visit to Prescott!

Kyra L-P

Very Educational, Beautifully done ! This is a 2 ½ - 3 hour museum self guided tour (with someone at each building to give history). The people were very nice and ready to answer any questions you may have. I definitely recommend going to Sharlot Hall Museum.

Justine Vild

This was a very interesting and educational little spot. Took us over 2 hours to get through but we watched a few videos and read lots of plaques. There were friendly attendants everywhere eager to offer up knowledge. My daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt. I learned more than I thought I would here including a random fact: George Washington was 6'4"! Great place to come with or without kids!

Anita Brooks

Love it there was multiple houses to see you got to see the actual size and how they lived. Or you can ask explored by yourself or to bring your kids of all ages and very informative. If you are curious how they lived and what their statuary and how big things were come to see

Tyler Downey

The volunteers were all so amazing - friendly, informative. They really made the visit. This was a neat museum with lots to see and learn for those interested in history and how things used to be in the early days of Prescott/Arizona. Plan to spend at least a couple hours!

Blake Wigdahl

Beautiful must see experience right downtown.

Bridgette Muse

Greg Merget

Fantastic experience. The Sharlot Hall museum is a wonderful place. The docents are very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned a lot here. Anyone interested in the history of central Arizona would love this.

Gerri Dames

This was our 1st visit in over 20 years. If you haven't been there in a while go back for a visit. The history is amazing. Allow several hours. Several houses & log cabins plus a huge bldg. in the back. We really enjoyed it.

Chris H

There's a lot more to explore at this museum than I thought before I went. A few historic buildings, a number of recreations, and some really great exhibits about life in early Arizona. The museum is a quick walk from the square in Prescott and would be a nice stop for families.

john pigaga

Brought our 4th & 5th grade classes on a tour. The staff was knowledgeable and very willing to share their knowledge with our students. Great museum full of amazing historical artifacts.

Wonderful place to visit, super knowledgeable and friendly docents. It's like talking a walk through Arizona territorial history. Very interactive and fun for all ages!

Sherry J

Always a fun time! Exhibits are frequently updated, always something new to see. My 6 and 8 year old really enjoy the Beasts exhibit. The Mammoth skeleton is awesome, it was found about 25 miles away from Prescott! Kids under 13 are free, I would highly reccomend this museum to anyone local or visiting!

Robert Bolder

One of the coolest museums i've been. This open air museum has the original governors mansion built in that location and was home to the governor of the territory of Arizona. It also has old farmhouses and so many other cool things. The gift shop is stocked with amazing things to help you remember your trip. It is located around several good restaurants. So much to see, I've been 3 times and I am already planning a trip back!

Freeman Tao

Knowledgable and friendly docents guide you through Arizona's history in this museum. Actually several buildings and gardens. Allow several hours to fully tour.

Maria Ranus

Very friendly staff, I would like to visit again. My toddler loved running outside in the rose garden & hearing cicadas around the crab apple tree

Emmanuel Chavez

We've driven by this Museum a few dozen times on our visits to Prescott. We finally decided to check it out. Definetly the right choice. This place is awesome! It's incredible how much information you learn in just 1-2 hour tour around the grounds. The volunteers through out the tour were very knowledgeable on all the great facts about the museum. Great learning and family experience. In the background of the picture is what's called the Governors Mansion. Arizonas first 2 Governers lived in it at the time of their term.

Angel Marie Asor

Fascinating and lovely staff! I learned so much about Prescott! About the Hohokam and various tribes and local history.

Marc Swan

Very interesting museum. There are several buildings on site. Each has a story to tell.

Chad Moore-Castro

Really informative and fun museum. Expect to be here at least two hours if you read a bit and talk to the staff.

Kyle Goedert

As a historian, I visit a lot of museums. This is one of my favorites! It is so fascinating, and the volunteer tour guides are wonderful -- especially Allan Cooper. He is so passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Sharlot Hall and the Prescott area. I would be happy to have him teach me any topic he is interested in! I visited the museum on a whim because I was in Prescott visiting a friend and waiting for her to get done with work -- I live in Michigan, but I will absolutely be going back to the museum the next time I am in town!

Annemarie Mahoney

Beautiful venue with all the gardens and outside points of interest as well as the indoor museums

Georgia Clubb

Great resource and information on historic Prescott homes. Was able to provide old photos and history of fun 1875 house purchase.

Slay A Forever

This place is very educational! If you jave kids or don't know about the history of Sharlot Hall you should definitely come!!!

Helen Goldstein

Excellent museum. What really made the experience positive for our kids was the scavenger hunt and fantastic volunteer guides placed at strategic points who gave great insights and involved the kids with cool questions.

Jessica Miller

I'm from the UK and visited the museum when I was on holiday in 2016. It is probably one of the best museums I've ever been to in my life. It brings together a wealth of artefacts, which are beautifully displayed in an extensive number of exhibitions. Unfortunately I didn't have time to look round everything, but I'd love to go back again one day.

Kate Montgomery

Amazing museum, with interesting exhibits and knowledgeable docents. Every second Saturday is living history day. In June and October there are often art festivals.

Allen H

This place is very cool and informative on cultures and history.

Jeanette Rodriguez

It's a beautiful museum!

Phil Staley

An excellent museum. A must see if you are in Prescott area.

Carolyn Laumann

About 4 acres, well used. Interesting museum with houses from the past with mostly original furnishings. Beautiful rose garden.

Thomas Lowrie

Simply a wonderful campus to spend as much time as you want exploring the history of the Prescott area. The volunteers/guides are friendly and openly excited to share...great to see the interaction with the younger ones.

Donna Davidson

Visiting Prescott we discovered this gem and spent 2 hours exploring the history associated with it. It was well laid out and each building had a docent who was well informed to educate us. I plan on bring a group back here to share this wonderful experience!

Darlene Wilson

Incredible Arizona history. The Territorial Governor's Mansion is there along with the oldest light house in AZ and much, much more.

Jerilynn Yazzie

Thank you for hosting the Prescott Indian Art Market. First timers as artisans and the staff, volunteers blew my mind! Such great hospitality, awesome energy and great vibes! Thank you!

Jake Weber

An excellent place to learn about Prescott's history.

Justme For

Nice place to visit at least once. Informative with a good history lesson about Arizona and its start. Its awesome that Ms. Hall saw the importance of preserving history and did something about it. Much respect. We loved the gentlemen in the Governors Mansion! He was so great and enthusiastic to share the information and stories about the home and its history! Thank you.

David Maschue

Loved the scavenger hunt experience. It was for kids but I still took one and made the experience very fun. Volunteers and staff were very knowledgeable.

Ashley Duncan

What an absolutely amazing museum. All of the workers and volunteers have done an amazing job and clearly care about the museum, this was such a gem. I visited on a weekend trip from the valley, and would happily visit again and plan on it.

Judith Gayou

Sharlot Hall Museum is a wonderful property and exhibit! Give yourself plenty of time to appreciate and enjoy all there is to see. The grounds and buildings are beautifully maintained by terrific volunteers who are passionate in the museum's preservation. The docents are very knowledgeable in the history of all the exhibits and are happy to answer questions. We left wanting to know more and happily found and bought many books that we will enjoy long after our visit to Prescott is over. Thank you to all the docents who made our visit so special.

Julie Goldammer

This history museum of Prescott and the area is really more of a complex with several separated buildings that highlight different aspects of the times. From the original governor's house to the rose gardens, we were truly impressed by the collection and the level of detail. We could have easily spent all day at the museum. The location in town makes it an easy visit before or after lunch. A great stop on our weekend away.

Dolores Moore

Sharlot Hall would be proud of how this museum continues to celebrate her legacy and inspire visitors. Set in well-maintained gardens, the museum is made up of authentic representations of buildings from Prescott's early beginnings as well as the museum itself. All the docents are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A gift shop is housed in one of the old buildings. There is so much to see and learn here about how the early settlers of Prescott lived, and there are plenty of places outside to take a break which makes it an ideal place for the whole family. There is something to engage every age group here.

Debra Jabs

Very well done. They have the first cabin built in the AZ territory on site.

Oscar Dominguez

Sharlot Hall Museum describes territorial Arizona and prehistoric Arizona before colonization. I was fascinated by native Americans, how they built civilization around the Prescott area, and also the beasts of the ice age. The Museum describes how Native Americans hunted, the tools they created for agriculture, hunting, & building houses. Also how they created pottery for everyday use. Adults $12 for an all day pass. There's a gift shop for souvenirs at the end of the tour.

Ted Brooks

There is no better place in Northern Arizona to learn the local history than this great, authentic museum. From the original governor'smansion to the brand new education center, this place really has it going on. It's a must visit if ever in Prescott.

Vanja Srdic

Great history museum indeed, so many things to see and learn there, be prepared to spend at least 2.5 hours (maybe more) on a thorough visit. Their volunteer staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, you will really enjoy your visit to this museum.

Geengur Mac

Love the Rose garden and other trees and shrubs!!!! The folks who work here are very friendly and helpful!

Sharon Siverts

One fabulous museum, you can spend hours. The artifacts are great as are the pictures and write-ups. The early times in main building is terrific for a history if Arizona from early times. The docents are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Not to be missed

Patrick O'Leary

Incredible museum campus. Super friendly staff.

Bradley Berger

Great museum. Learned a lot of the early history of Prescott.

Steve Cockrill

This is a "must visit" for Prescott. The grounds are impeccable and the exhibits are informative. Do yourself a favor and plan to spend some time here.

Mike Craigson

Awesome for Prescott history! Lots of bits from the Native American era through modern times.

M J

I really enjoyed this gem of a museum in Prescott. They have done a great job preserving the history of not just this woman, but also of the town. I enjoyed everything from the history of the railroad to the gardens. Worth the visit while you are in Prescott.

Lissa Thornburgh

Went here after the Christmas lights were lit at the courtyard plaza. What a wonderful step back in time! The historical docents in period dress was marvelous and most informative. Despite the pouring rain and the chill in the air, my friend and I had a wonderful time! I HIGHLY recommend spending the $10.00 and prepare yourself to be whisked away to another era!

Vivian Komori

Love this place. The docents are remarkably knowledgable and share their information in ways that transported us back through history. My family and had left feeling like we had learned so much about our area with a new appreciation of those who came before us.

Marilyn Clute

A beautifully preserved time capsule! We went during a museum event in which period dressed volunteers fascinated us with tales of early pioneers to this area and what general living conditions were like when Prescott was young. The rose gardens are a delight, as well. A parking structure for shaded parking is only a block and a half away. If you love history as I do, you'll enjoy your visit.

Daniel Lindberg

A great place to visit in Prescott. You can walk through several buildings and learn a lot about the local history. Some of the building are modeled after the traditional homes the pioneers used. They have some good parking in the back of the museum, and they also have some places that would be a great place to go picnicking during your visit. Sometimes they even will host special events where you can learn some of the old skills that were necessary to survive in the wild west.

K K

It was great. There are some great models of early settler living quarters, schools, etc. We brought our 5 year old and 2 year old kids, they enjoyed it. We were there for about an hour, would have stayed longer but the kids got hungry.

Marie Kuranishi

We stopped by the gift shop looking for old photos of Prescott. Met a very nice man who directed us to archives where we can order photos.

Nicole Mosqueira

Very interesting museum! There are many different subjects present here from natural history in Arizona to the history of Prescott. The displays are fun to look at. Going through the whole museum will take a couple of hours, but it is a good experience. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in the history of Arizona.

Lance G

A quaint but highly interesting museum located in downtown Prescott. The museum is more of a campus, featuring a variety of exhibits showcasing Arizona's history, ranging all the way from pre-historic times to several decades following statehood. The grounds and exhibits are all well-kept and well-maintained, and the staff there were all exceptionally friendly and informative. For only 9.00 for an adult, it's definitely a worthwhile place to check out.

Jan Kane

Broad appeal with so many exhibits and buildings. We enjoyed the variety of military exhibits, as well as pottery, historical re-creations, transport, artifacts, period clothing and home goods. With extremely knowledgeable and helpful docents, this is a wonderful museum. We were disappointed we missed the house and the gift shop which is closed on Mondays.

Jon De` Lacy

Best fourth of July I've ever had. Governors mansion had best historian I've ever encountered. As well as being able to learn proper history of Arizona.

Ashley Beauregard

My daughters been dying to take us to this museum, she went on a field trip with her friends there and wanted us to experience it too. My family and I finally went, it's so cute and a fun place to explore and learn about prescott,az. It's very inexpensive and it's something fun to experience,my daughter was excited we had a good time.

Zach Taylor

This place was pretty cool, there was quite a bit of History and a lot of information. Great place for families to go and check out. I would definitely recommend.

Estela Piquer.

Beautiful and peaceful place to visit,. historic and interesting. The place is very clean.

Amy Burkhalter

I felt like I had gone back in time. The volunteers there do a wonderful job making sure you get the story of the houses and about the city. Prescott has some rich AZ history that everyone who lives here oughta know because it's really interesting.

DIMENSIONS

Not the greatest museum I've been to, but it is the best in Prescott! It is really well done and very interesting and educational. Worth the admission. Give yourself 3 hours to fully take it in.

Samantha Carlson

I love this museum. Besides hosting the original governor's mansion at it's site but spot, there is reconstructed Fort Misery, a school house, the Fremont house and Bashford house. Original buildings moved and preserved. This museum has a print shop with working presses. The museum volunteers dress in period clothing right down to their skivvies and deliver wonderful information with passion and excitement. There is also a larger , newer building that hosts some fabulous pieces of art. Well worth the visit. Try to visit when they are having demonstrations like candle making, corn husk dolls and talk to Bi...she is a wealth of information on medicinal plants.

Terese Talmage

Beautiful old home. Purchased an Arizona Christmas ornament for a friend. They need more items for sale in the gift store.

Gary M

It was a fun experience to see how the past lived.

Dave Lucas

Quite informative and enjoyable. The separate buildings each have their own character and history. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk with. We highly recommend.

joederm2

Always interesting special exhibits, done with care - as are the permanent exhibits about Arizona. Once the nation is back to normal I will again enjoy the lectures which are held periodically.

Posey Nash

The grounds alone right now are in full bloom. Just beautiful! A must see.

Tom C

I went with a group, getting a tour guide in the deal. The grounds are very nice and museum bigger and nicer than I expected. Tour guides were great, full of very interesting information. I wish i'd had more time to spend, well worth the trip.

Karen Martin

Simply beautiful!! We went during the living history weekend and heard interesting facts about people and places! Definitely planning to go back!!

Tami Sortillon

Tom Blessie

Wonderful little stop on our Prescott walk. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the homes are simply beautiful. The kids really enjoyed the tour so they could see what a struggle life was before all the modern conveniences. It was a shock for them to see no TV's or iPads for the kids to play with.

Brenda Laurinitis

Loved it. Very informative

Nan Harrison

The "living history" (2nd Saturday of each month) with live actors in costume is amazing and worth the price of admission. Great for arts and kids alike!

Today we took our time and enjoyed this beautiful place. Everyone is so nice and the information each person gives you is interesting. Take your time. This is a huge place and each building takes time to enjoy. Please put this on your list.

We came for the Indian Art Market, which was excellent. There was a wide variety of art and programs from many tribes.

C W

I grew up in this town and as a kid I had the opportunity to go here a few times. Recently went back to check it out and still love this place. Its worth a slow stroll if you had some time, the people are great an the museum has and hopefully will continue to be a great place to go

Rowena E

First time there, great museum with a lot to see and learn.

Much larger museum than we thought. Something like 7 buildings, all interesting. The volunteers we're very good. We really enjoyed our visit

Franziska Johnson

Loved it and the bathrooms 🚻 are very clean …

John Dibert

Excellent historical museum! Plan at least 2 hours of you want to really maximize your visit!

Michael Alan McHenry

Very relevant historical context to local immgration Easterners that brought the new wave of pre and post humanity to the western frontier.

Monte Crooks

As a Library of Congress cardholder, historic research, especially clarification of inaccuracies, I am completely satisfied with Sharlot Hall Museum's efforts to do the same! Every resident of Prescott, Arizona should avail themselves of the opportunity to visit and participate in their efforts!

Thomas Royse

If you like museums, this is the museum to check out, we were there for hours.

Philip Tulcus

Sharlot Hall Museum not only is a treasure of unique buildings of the past, it also has outstanding grounds with flowers and great plants to admire... The mature shade trees and walking path with outdoor art add to the experience as well.... Note this site is well within walking distance from the downtown square..... We give thanks to the authors and workers of this site ...

Saurabh Vishwakarma

It's beautiful and very well maintained. I thoroughly enjoyed descriptions by the staff. They were really helpful and informative.
