Southside Flagstaff Haunted History Tour

Southside Flagstaff Haunted History 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 of local restaurants and businesses, yet it retains the whispers of its mysterious past. This tour invites you to walk the eerie echoes of a bygone era alongside the lively spirit that now defines the Southside. Dig 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 amid the area’s present-day activity. The full, haunting story of Dutch May, a well-known madame whose life met a shadowy end, is told only on this tour, a rare glimpse into a figure marked by both prosperity and mystery. Book today and peel back the layers of Flagstaff’s past.
