Flagstaff Trip Overview
Today’s Flagstaff is a modern city, with theatres, schools, parks, and much more. But centuries ago— before the railroad and before the lumber mills—Flagstaff was a rootin tootin cowboy town. Gun fights, saloons, and horse thieves peppered the streets and some say the ghosts have never left. This tour will contain history but will leave out some of the mature-themed stories from our Downtown Flagstaff Haunted History Tour. We encourage children to dress up for this fun and spooky experience!
