Pioneer Living History Museum: Gallows


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." Hopefully, this was a peaceful town and they did not need to use these gallows very often. Perhaps it was to warn people against bad behavior since the consequences could be quite severe. This structure is a reproduction, built by Eagle Scouts in 2014.
