The Law

Prescott was once the territorial capital, and local cowboys frequently brought their rowdy behavior into the center of town. After one too many drunken equestrians tried to bring their steeds into the halls of justice, this specific prohibition was passed. It serves as a hilarious reminder of a time when horses were the primary mode of transportation and vandalism.
