Decades ago, Flagstaff, Arizona was a sleepy little railway settlement at the base of Mount Humphries. Today, its past has been lovingly preserved in the historic city centre district. Colourful characters from the town’s early days, along with the hotels and stores they labored to build, are the subject of amusing anecdotes and ghostly tales. The Orpheum Theatre sits next to the iconic Weatherford Hotel-both buildings born from the imagination of John Weatherford. Kindly Dr. Raymond, beloved if eccentric town doctor, built his home and offices on Leroux St. The 1926 train depot and Hotel Monte Vista are not only of historic note–both buildings are known as supernatural hotspots. The sad tragic storey of Marie Walkup and her murdered children is set in 1930s Flagstaff and is a chilling reminder of life’s uncertainties.
Along the route, guests will be treated to stops in historic city centre bars, where they can enjoy a drink while being regaled with stories from the past.
