The next meeting of the Prescott Corral of Westerners is set for for Thursday, April 4, at the Prescott Centennial Center, 1989 Clubhouse Drive new the E.A. Love Airfield. Paid dinner reservations from the cancelled March event may be transferred to a future date, but you must preregister — it’s not an automatic reservation.  Use the Reservation Form in the April Roundup (click the tab), which still needs to be sent in. Presentation will be Marjory Sente discussing “The Ladies of Mount Vernon,” those women who lived there. Doors open at 5:15 p.m., dinner begins at 6 p.m. and the speaker presentation starts at 7:00 p.m. Any questions?  Please contact Sheriff Kathy Mancino at (928) 362-9240.

The award winning Prescott Corral was founded in 1962 as an affiliate of Westerners International, an organization dedicated to the preservation of the real history of the American West. We currently have about 225 member-families, which ranks us as one of the largest in the world.

We hold a dinner meeting the first Thursday of each month followed by a 40-minute presentation on a selected Western History topic. These programs are very popular, with usually 80 to 120 members and guests attending.  Currently, we conduct the dinner meeting at the Kuykendall Community Center (former Prescott Centennial Center) near the E.A. Love Airfield off Hwy. 89.

Annually, we host the Western History Symposium, a day-long series of interesting, provocative and informative talks and presentations from noted authors, researchers, historians and educators on a variety of subjects relevant to our western heritage. Now in our 20th year, the Symposium is free to the public. Check out the Symposium tab above for samples of past Symposium presentations (including links to some of the recorded talks), as well as the date for the next Symposium.
