Bashford House

In 1973 history escaped the bulldozer once again.  The 1880 William C. Bashford House, a building of “architectural value and high integrity” was saved by the people of Prescott and moved to the Museum property. 

Today this Victorian treasure welcomes guests as the Museum store, Sharlot’s Timeless Treasures.  Exhibit panels and artifacts explain who lived here, the story of a remarkable civic effort to save and move her, and of the Bashford brother’s “Big Store” that was the retail heart of downtown Prescott for 70 years. The gift store offers a wide variety of books, jewelry, gifts, clothing, outdoor living items and memorabilia.
