Pioneer Ranch & Living History Museum
is located just off the I-17 freeway just
30 minutes north of downtown Phoenix,
Arizona, one mile north of Carefree
Highway … but don’t let the proximity to
the city fool you. Everything about Pioneer
Ranch is as wild and western as it can be.
Pioneer Ranch and Living History Museum
is comprised of 90 acres of rugged western
land in the Sonoran desert and offers
a memorable taste of frontier history spiced with just the right amount of old
fashioned cowboy fun.
The main attraction at Pioneer Ranch is the authentic 1800’s town.
Travel back in time as you wander the streets and meet costumed
interpreters portraying cowboys, lawmen, and lovely Victorian ladies
from the days of Arizona’s Wild West. Step inside actual historic
buildings over a century old as well as many realistic and accurate
reproductions of structures from the era of Arizona’s Old West. See
the Opera House where Lilly Langtry sang; look through a rifle port
in an actual cabin that survived Arizona’s bloodiest range war; laugh
your way through a “melodrama” at the theatre; or browse an 1890’s
dress shop. Also in the town, you’ll find a working blacksmith’s shop,
a sheriff's office and jail, a variety of Wild West entertainment, and
Pioneer Restaurant which is open to the public Wednesday through
Sunday weekly and features the best Friday night Fish Fry in the
Valley.
So if you are looking for a quiet evening out or an exciting Wild
West experience, from team building retreats and corporate BBQ’s
to group field trips, guided horseback adventures and cattle drives,
Pioneer is the place to get your hands on the history of the Old West.
