Easy to find, open early, very informative old building with lots of pictures and artifacts. Don't miss the old farm equipment and little cabin outside that you can go in. Great for kids and adults, very educational.

We like this museum. There are historical medical displays, including an iron lung, as well as other historical artifacts. On the outside there are some old farm stuff and cabins. My kids like the train in the front.

But it is very interesting. My son was the most enthralled with the logbook for the Indigent Hospital. It does need a big influx of cash to get it from a random hodgepodge to something organized and tied together. However, still worth the time to stop by and look at the exhibits. There is enough tom see and learn from... More

I agree with the other reviews and they need a lot of work on the exhibits, but if you look hard enough, there are lots of cool things, including the history of the building which you will not get from the exhibits but from the staff.

They are a friendly bunch here and it is only $5. But they are working on all the displays upstairs and remodeling them so you don't see as much as you would expect. I am sure it will be different once they are done but I would hold off visiting until they are done.

Little to see or do. Not much parking. Just nothing to recommend it. Now even sure how this place could stay open.

But exhibits very tired in the hospital building. Little or no interpretation. Outside the train and engine locked, and only one cottage open. They need a big injection of cash, if there are any benefactors out there.

This former hospital building houses things from that period including an operating room and an iron lung. There is a cool locomotive out front, a cabin and a lot of old farm machinery. Upstairs they are working on rooms for the 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's etc. It needs a lot more work and loving care to be worth the... More

With only one day to explore Flagstaff, we decided we would check out the Pioneer Museum in the morning. Not expecting much we were really surprised at the variety of exhibits in the various rooms of the old house, the train, barn,outbuildings and items scattered across the property. The Director Les Roe was generous with his local knowledge and recommendations... More

We very much enjoyed the time we spent touring this museum. The volunteers were such a pleasure to talk with and very eagerly related the history of the building, contents and grounds. Set in an old hospital from the early 1900's, it was an interesting walk back in time.
