Prescott Corral — Preserving the History and Culture of the American West

We are a chapter of Westerners International dedicated to historical research, education, and community fellowship. Join us for events, publications, and opportunities to connect with Western heritage.

Upcoming August Meeting
The next regular meeting of the Prescott Corral of Westerners is set for Thursday, August 6, 2026, at the Marlin D. Kuykendall Centennial Center (formerly known as the Prescott Centennial Center) at 1989 Clubhouse Dr. near the Prescott airport. Our August dinner meeting will feature a presentation by Brad Courtney regarding his ongoing research on the historical connections between Prescott and Tombstone, including many of the individuals associated with the Tombstone conflicts that led up to the famous gunfight near the OK Corral.
Brad is a popular local writer and speaker who is widely recognized as Prescott’s foremost expert on the history of our Whiskey Row, having written multiple books on the subject, as well as other aspects of Prescott’s history. It was during his research on the Prescott/Tombstone connection that he became the primary driver behind the recognition (via a plaque) of the location of Doc Holliday’s residence during his time in Prescott and the establishment of the annual Doc Hollidaze celebration. Brad is also a current member and past Sheriff of the Prescott Corral of Westerners.
Note that reservations must be mailed by Tuesday, July 28, in order to ensure seats at the dinner. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. A reservation slip and instructions can be found in the August Roundup newsletter, which can be downloaded from the link at the top of this page. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Sheriff Ken Hoyle at (970) 560-9965.
