About this experience

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.

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. 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.
