Of Westerners International |
|
The award winning Prescott Corral was founded in 1962 as an affiliate of Westerners International, an organization dedicated to the preservation of the real history of the American West. Most recently, the Prescott Corral has been honored as the top Corral for WI for 2008, among corrals chartered prior to 1973. This is the seventh time the Prescott Corral has won this honor. Prescott Corral has approximately 120 active members. THE ROUNDUP is the monthly flyer announcing the dinner and the program for the evening as well as comments by the Sheriff and other club news. The TERRITORIAL TIMES is a publication of the Prescott Corral, dealing mostly with Arizona territorial and early statehood history. The latest issue, volume 5 #1, is now available. Go to the TT page for details on how to get one. The WESTERN HISTORY SYMPOSIUM is conducted annually by members of the Prescott Corral and invited speakers in conjunction with The Sharlot Hall Museum. Watch for details on the 2012 symposium as they become available. |
