Located west of Prescott, in a very old cemetery, is the final resting place of Barbara Heck and some of her relatives. She brought the Methodist religion to North America.

Boldt Castle

Boldt Castle cost 2.5 mil to construct at the turn of the century, and over 10 mil to restore. Built on Hart Island (he brought in fill by boat to make it in the shape of a heart) as a testament of George Boldt's love for his wife Louise, construction was halted the day she died in 1904. It was never occupied. An opulent love story.
