Courthouse Plaza: Haunted History in Downtown Prescott

The territorial capital's seat of power. The Yavapai County Courthouse has witnessed everything from frontier justice to political scandal. What happens after dark is another story.

Prescott was a mining town before it was anything else. The Yavapai County Courthouse anchored a territory that was violent, politically charged, and growing fast. Between 1875 and 1925, at least 11 legal hangings took place here.
