Flagstaff Southside Ghost and True Crime Walking Tour

About this activity

Before Route 66 carved through the heart of Flagstaff, the Southside was the town's notorious Red Light District: saloons, gamblers, outlaws and painted women. Today it is a hub of local restaurants and breweries, but the whispers never left.

On this 90-minute, one-mile walk south of the tracks, your Southwestern Gothic dressed guide takes you past Hick's Boarding House, the Historic Brewing Barrel House, the Old Anderson Building and the neon towers of the Motel Du Beau and the Downtowner. Hear the full story of Dutch May Prescott, the wealthy madam found dead in a staged suicide that was never solved, and railroad tales most Flagstaff residents have never heard.

Every story comes from co-founder Susan Johnson's original research. Flagstaff's original ghost tour company since 2015. 2,000+ verified reviews.
