History in Arizona's First Capital
Orchard Ranch sits in the mile-high country near Dewey and Prescott Valley, in the shadow of the Bradshaw and Mingus mountain ranges, where a comfortable high-desert summer meets mild winter temperatures.
Just up the road, Prescott served as the first capital of Arizona Territory in 1864, and its Courthouse Plaza, Victorian homes, and legendary Whiskey Row still anchor a town that calls itself 'Everybody's Hometown.' The old copper-mining town of Jerome clings to Cleopatra Hill nearby, reborn as a colony of galleries, wineries, and Old West history.
