Whiskey Row in Prescott, Arizona

Here's where you'll get your first glimpse of Whiskey Row. More than a hundred years ago, this is where the miners and other residents took their meals, drank their liquor (the water wasn't safe), got haircuts, found jobs, voted, and found entertainment. The brothels were on the second level.

Even 20 years ago there used to be more bars on Whiskey Row, but now, in addition to some of the traditional places, you'll find art galleries, ice cream shops, and gift shops.

Whiskey Row is a popular destination for people from all over the state on the 4th of July when Frontier Days celebrations take place, including the World's Oldest Rodeo.
