... once known as the "Biggest Little Town in the State of Arizona" for having the most business houses per capita during the 1920's, 1930's depression, as its businesses thrived due to its notorious fame of "Bootlegging" and "Bootlegger Kings". Main Street was lined with Pool Halls that dispensed illegal spirits from their back rooms and underground tunnels that hid it from the law during the prohibition era years of 1915-1933.

Today the spirit lives on. This small strip of historic buildings now dispense "A Taste of Old Town" with half a dozen wine tasting rooms, largest cluster of the Verde Valley Wine Trail and Painted Barrel Trail, a diversified choice of the Valley's most popular restaurants & cafes with outdoor courtyards and sidewalk seating, "foodies" sampling shops, eclectric array of unique shops, antiques, books and galleries, historic lodging, and other accommodations of places to stay, plus an old haunted jail.

Take a guided or self-guided tour and explore the wonders of this small town.

Old Town borders the Verde River Greenway Riparian. This "rare" riparian area flourishes with unique vegetation and habitat and is a short walk to the Dead Horse Ranch State Park with hiking trails, picnicking, birdwatching, biking, jogging, horseback riding, fishing, finding your own little private beach along the river and more.
