History
Glass medicine bottles, old nickels and drink tokens are among the remnants of Flagstaff history unearthed from the basement of the historic Weatherford Hotel as the owners brought back The Gopher Hole Pub in a monumental restoration project and grand re-opening in July of 2014. The Gopher Hole existed in the 1930s, reportedly welcomed by the town following Prohibition and in the midst of the Great Depression. Historian and Pioneer Museum Curator Joe Meehan says the community had a thirst for such an establishment.
