Pioneer Living History Museum: Ranch Complex Root Cellar
In the far northern reaches of Phoenix, lies a delightful, historic place — the Pioneer Living History Museum. This 90-acre destination contains historic and reconstructed buildings from the latter part of the 19th century through the early part of the 20th century. Additionally, as it says on their website, "costumed interpreters including cowboys, lawmen, and lovely Victorian ladies – await you at Pioneer Living History Village, Arizona’s most authentic Old West town." Also nearby was a root cellar. This structure is partially underground, providing a reasonably uniform temperature during the winter for storing root crops such as potatoes, turnips, carrots, beets, and onions. Additionally, the pioneers might have stored jarred preserves and jams, salt meat, salted fish, winter squash, and cabbage. This root cellar is a reconstruction of one found on the property where the ranch complex home stood originally.
