Pioneer Living History Museum: Eagle Mine Ore Cars
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." At the end of the tracks, the ore cars dumped their load to be hauled off for processing. Most folks think of mining in the western in terms of searching for gold or silver but Arizona is better known for its abundance of copper ore. Note all three of those elements are in the same column on the periodic table of elements.
