The Pine-Strawberry Museum in Pine, Arizona, was opened in 1979 for the purpose of displaying artifacts relative to the prehistory and history of Pine and its twin among the pines, Strawberry.

The large facility allows for the display of artifacts and documents; especially those that pertain to the Native American cultures that occupied our area, the first Spanish and Anglo pioneers to visit and settle the area, and the peoples who have remained in the community since the initial settlement.

The museum houses prehistoric artifacts found in the land area of Pine and Strawberry Valleys and near plateaus, as well as artifacts actually brought and used by the earliest settlers to the communities.

Also on display are artifacts relative to the Pine and Strawberry area that were neither found here nor actually used by the founding families, yet are typical of those used by the early settlers. Examples of these would be wash buckets, irons and oil lamps. In general, items displayed in the Pine-Strawberry Museum pre-date 1945.

The ornate tin ceiling in the Main Room remains today exactly as it was in earlier days. In addition to the Mormon Church history displayed here, visitors will find a barber chair used from the late 1920s through the mid 1940s, memorabilia and uniforms from World War II, and memories from early school days in Pine.

The Archeology Room contains pottery found during the Strawberry II excavation. Other displays feature Kachina dolls carved from Cottonwood root, and fossils and arrowheads found in the area.

Other period rooms include the Hallway and Dining Room and the Bedroom and Laundry Room.
