The Phippen Museum of Western Art , named for a Prescott-area painter and sculpter, resembles a rustic ranch house from the area's territorial period. It contains Phippen's own works in addition to an outstanding collection of historic art and artifacts by other Western artists. The downtown historic area has scores of antique stores, specialty shops, restaurants and ice cream and soda fountains. Prescott has more than 70 houses of worship. There are performing halls, fine libraries, a variety of bookstores and three colleges.
Music ranges from symphony to a bluegrass festival to Western balladeers.
