Pioneer Living History Museum: Sheriff's Office
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." Here we see the Sheriff's office, a reconstruction of an original that stood in Globe, AZ some 80 miles east of Phoenix. The thick clay, sand, and sand walls insulated the occupants from the elements — keeping the interior cool in summer and warm in winter. The original not only contained the Sheriff's office but also the jail and a courtroom for a circuit judge who might visit once a month to try cases.
