Sharlot Hall Museum, Heritage museum in Prescott, United States.

Sharlot Hall Museum is an open-air museum and heritage site in Prescott, Arizona, covering almost four acres with 11 exhibit buildings, six of them historic. Its centerpiece is the 1864 Governor's Mansion, built by contractors Blair, Hatz and Raible for $6,000. The grounds also hold Fort Misery, the oldest log cabin in Arizona, moved here in 1934, plus the 1875 Frémont House and the 1877 Bashford House.

The museum was founded in 1928 when Sharlot M. Hall secured preservation of the 1864 Governor's Mansion as its centerpiece. This original building became the foundation for expanding into a broader collection dedicated to territorial history.

The grounds feature a garden dedicated to the women who contributed to Arizona's early settlement during the territorial period. Their stories appear throughout the exhibits, showing how daily life and choices shaped the region's growth.

The museum is best explored on foot as the exhibition buildings are spread across the grounds. Plan enough time to walk between structures and view the collections in each building without rushing.

The museum's research center holds rare books and original manuscripts documenting daily life and commerce in the Arizona highlands. Researchers and curious visitors can access these materials to explore deeper stories not shown in the main exhibits.
