Walker Party2009 35th Annual Phippen Western Art Show Poster Artwork by George Phippen

Walker Party  by George Phippen - In May 1863, a promise came to fruition as an exploration party led by Captain Joseph R. Walker discovered gold in the Bradshaw Mountains, just south and east of present-day Prescott.  This led to the establishment of Fort Whipple on the banks of Granite Creek, the founding of the town of Prescott on May 30, 1864, and its designation as the first capital of Arizona Territory, as well as the seat of government for newly-created Yavapai County.
