Harvest Fest at Pioneer Living History Museum

 
 
 

In the Valley, temps in the 90’s are associated with fall, Halloween and outdoor fun. If you’re like my fam, you’re probably looking at all the fall festivities that are kicking off in Phoenix this month. Since it’s my six month old daughter, Mia Valentina’s, first fall ever, my husband and I are eager to take her to the family friendly events in town.

This past weekend, we trekked to the Pioneer Living History Museum for their Harvest Fest. Located in North Phoenix, the museum showcases 90 acres of an old 1800's town. You will see authentic buildings and historically accurate reproductions including the Opera House, look through a rifle port in the actual cabin that survived Arizona's bloodiest range war and browse through an 1890's dress shop. All of this, plus a blacksmith shop, sheriff's office and jail, complete ranch complex, and costumed interpreters including cowboys, lawmen, and lovely Victorian ladies - await you at Pioneer Living History Village, Arizona's most authentic Old West town.
