Pioneer Living History Museum: Ashurst Cabin Interior


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 structure was moved from Ashurst's childhood home in Nevada to this location. It was dismantled then moved, piece by piece, from a box canyon via a 200-foot steel cable tramway, which the Museum built for the purpose of rescuing the cabin from ruin. The building was donated by Babbitt Land and Cattle Company. The restoration was financed by Modern Pioneers' Life Insurance Company.
