The Story
About This Haunted Tour
Before the famed Route 66 carved through the heart of Flagstaff, the Southside thrummed as a notorious Red Light District, a hive of outlaws, gamblers, and spectral secrets. Today, this area has evolved into a hub bustling with local restaurants and businesses, yet it retains the whispers of its mysterious past. This tour invites you to traverse the eerie echoes of a bygone era alongside the lively spirit that now defines the Southside. Delve into chilling tales at landmarks like Hick’s Boarding House and the Historic Brewing Barrel House, where history and modernity intertwine. As you walk these storied streets, you'll uncover hidden chapters of history, palpably alive amidst the area's contemporary vibrancy. Uncover the full, haunting story of Dutch May, a revered madame whose life met a shadowy end. This narrative is exclusive to our journey, providing a rare glimpse into a figure shrouded in both prosperity and mystery. Embark on a journey where history meets mystery, book today and peel back the layers of Flagstaff’s rich and vibrant past.
