About Sharlot Hall Museum

Sharlot Hall Museum sits on a campus of eleven exhibit buildings, eight of them historic, and presents the history and culture of Arizona's Central Highlands. Visitors can tour historic structures, browse permanent and temporary exhibits, and walk the grounds, which include a rose garden honoring pioneer women and an arboretum. The museum began in 1928 under Sharlot M. Hall, who helped secure a former governor's mansion as a historic property. A public research center and library, focused on Prescott and Yavapai County, is also run by the museum.
