The Pioneer Museum is part of the Arizona Historical Society. It is housed in the former Flagstaff Hospital. The hospital was built in 1908 and served until 1938. The museum has displays and artifacts of life in pioneer Flagstaff. The area was import for ranching and logging. The building is hard to see from the road but you can’t missed the old steam train on display just for the road. That is what caught my attention.
There us an entrance fee of $6 for adults, $3 for children but free for children under six.

This is a very large restaurant located on the south side of old town Flagstaff. Wait staff are friendly but I stopped I for lunch and the crowd was big and the staff were running about trying to keep up with things.
I decided to try their Penang Curry with chicken. It is available in a lunch size portion that comes with a salad. Their spice range is from 1 to 5. I selected 2 which was a little too spicy for what I wanted this day. But these numbers are always hit or miss as there is no exact science as to what level 1-5 is. The salad was small but good. It was an enjoyable meal for lunch. By the way, this was very authentic!

I was very happy to find a tea house in Flagstaff. I stop in one evening around 9pm. Nicely decorated with tea items for sale such as mugs and tea pots. there are only a few table for seating but in the window fronts are low floor seats and tables. They have a few pre-packaged snacks for sale like cookies and scones. I ordered a cup of Jasmine Tea. It was good tea and properly steeped. They have a good selection of tea, especially herbal teas.
A very nice place to relax. They do have wifi if you are camping and want to keep in touch with family and friends.

Macy’s is much more than a coffeehouse. They make their own baked goods like muffins and Danish. They also have a full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. I have only eaten here for breakfast. The first time was back in 2005. I remember the place being much smaller then. I think they bought into the next store and expanded. Now there is a raised platform dinning area. The food was good. I had scrambled eggs with veggie and cheese. It comes with fruit and toast. I would eat here again.
