Pioneer Living History Museum: Ranch Complex Pigsty
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 on the ranch complex was a pigsty AKA a hog pen. It was a small-scale system of pig farming to provide meat for the table throughout the year. In addition to meat, it was also a source of fat for rendering into lard.
