Phoenix to bid $3.2 million on Thursday
Pioneer Village a living monument to the faith, foresight, and fortitude of Arizona's Pioneers.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lockett donated a state land lease to the museum. The Locketts were members of a sheep ranching family that had been established in northern Arizona since the early 1880's.
The history of Arizona is represented in all its diversity, from the time of the Spanish Conquistadores to the achievement of Statehood in 1912.
If you haven't had a chance to visit this wonderful place of history, take a day to take a trip back into time. It is amazing to see how the Pioneers lived in the heat of the summer !
