Goodsprings History:
The Pioneer Saloon was built in 1913, and other than a short period from 1954 to 1960, the bar has been open for the last 95 years. Recently the Saloon has been added to the State Register of Historic Places and is under consideration in the National Register.

The bar itself was made in 1860 out of Cherry Wood and was shipped in three pieces from Brunswick, Maine. The trip took the bar around Cape Horn and into San Fransico. One section of the bar never arrived and another section was lost to a fire. The third section is what still stands in the bar today.
