Pioneer Museum
A local history museum in a former hospital building from 1908, with an outdoor display of old steam locomotives and logging equipment.
The Pioneer Museum is run by the Arizona Historical Society and is housed in a stone building completed in 1908 as the original Coconino County Poor Farm Hospital. Its exhibits cover Flagstaff's ranching, logging, railway, and early settler life. Outdoors, it displays a 1929 Baldwin steam locomotive, an old barn, and logging machinery. It is a good stop for visitors interested in railways and the history of the American West. It is located on Fort Valley Road, on the way to the Museum of Northern Arizona and Arizona Snowbowl, so it can easily be visited along the way. Tickets are charged per person.
