Pleasant grounds to amble around restored buildings, and a reasonable fee to enter and get a tour. There were explanatory plaques inside each building that explained the history of that structure and benches on which to sit outside.

The buildings are interesting and varied so you don't just see the same things over and over. The volunteers really know their history and are quite gracious with everyone. The new exhibit will be particularly enjoyed by kids. I really recommend this place to understand Prescott and early Arizona.

The museum is in downtown old Prescott just a couple blocks from Courthouse Square. We drove over from Sedona for the day. Much preferred the snaky scenic drive through Jerome and over the mountains.
