Pioneer Living History Museum: Town Bank Bookkeeper
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." The bookkeeper was a fixture to make sure the accounts were kept honestly. My late uncle told me that he once worked in a bank before computers. One Friday, their manual records were off by one penny. The staff spent hours trying to find the error that led to that 1¢ discrepancy but find it they did. Just think, with computers the discrepancies can be much larger and so much more difficult to track — don't you just love modern times.
