Prescott is rich in cultural and heritage tourism. Founded in 1810 by Colonel Edward Jessup, our town is home to over 75 sites and homes, each with a story to tell. In 2010 we celebrated 200th anniversary with a full calendar of events. Our beautiful waterfront attracts visitors every year who marvel at our clean harbour and friendly, courteous staff. You can enjoy 18 holes of golf at the Prescott Golf Club, tennis, hockey, swimming and other sports. There are over 100 shops and services in our historic downtown. We are certain you will enjoy your stay.
