GMIHC Learning and Tribute Center

Reviewed By Gantt524080 - Athens, United States

What an amazing tribute, not really much else to say. The volunteer staff were beyond excellent and went above and beyond to answer questions and assist with finding memorabilia. Time spent visiting was well worth it. From a firefighter from the other side of the country thank you for what you have created.

We had a wonderful time strolling and bar hopping Whiskey Row. We visited Matt's Saloon, Jersey Lilly's, Bird Cage, The Palace, and the Public House. The bartenders were friendly and made tasty drinks. Be warned, most establishments are CASH ONLY so bring $$ with you.

Yavapai County Courthouse Square

Reviewed By 818rheaa - Prescott Valley, United States

The Yavapai County Courthouse Square in Prescott is a beautiful structure set in a lovely park environment. Trees and grass are everywhere. This provides a great place for rest or a nice walk around the square. At Christmas, the square is brilliant with lights and decorations. There are public bathrooms on the basement side that faces Montezuma St. In addition, flags adorn the walkway to the courthouse steps, and there are many interesting statues to view.

Bucky O'Neill Monument

Reviewed By seeingamericafirst - Yuma, United States

This is an inspiring statue of Bucky O'Neill in front of the Prescott, Arizona, courthouse in Courthouse Square. Bucky O'Neill (February 2, 1860-July 1,1898 ) was an editor, sheriff, and many other jobs in Prescott, Arizona. He was also a Captain in Roosevelt's Rough Riders. His name came because he tended to "buck the finger" or play against the odds in games of gambling. He was killed in Cuba. The statue was made by Solon Burglum who was America's first cowboy sculptor (1868-1922). The statue was dedicated July 3, 1907. It is a beautiful statue and please take time to read the plaques on it and to just observe it from all angles-do not just look at it and pass it by. It is especially nice at Christmas when the square is all lit up.
