Prescott, Arizona, USA

Prescott is a city in Yavapai County, Arizona, USA. Prescott has many Victorian style homes and, perhaps because of that, has been remarked to be the most Midwestern-appearing city in the Southwest. Prescott has 525 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.

Prescott is home to the historical area known as "Whiskey Row". In its heyday, Whiskey Row was lined with saloons, however in 1900, the entire block—along with three-quarters of the town—was destroyed by fire. But within days, new structures began to rise, most of fire-proof brick, and many of those buildings are still standing. Today, Whiskey Row is the ideal place for unique shopping, dining and plenty of entertainment.
