Living History Adventure

The Sharlot Hall Museum’s Living History Adventure program brings Prescott’s territorial period to life, focusing on the founding of Arizona in 1863 to statehood in 1912.

What was daily life on the Arizona frontier like? Living History interpreters connect visitors with the past as they demonstrate historic livelihoods and lifestyles. Guests are invited to step into the Ranch House, Schoolhouse, Print Shop, and more as they discover the story of Prescott in a fresh way.

The Living History Adventure is held the second Saturday of the month, April-November. With a different theme each month, fun and supplemental hands-on activities for families make sure that all visitors can connect with history on their level! 

If you would like to become a volunteer Living History interpreter, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Greg Kenny at greg.kenny@sharlothallmuseum.org to get started.

Living History Adventure is made possible thanks to our generous sponsors.
