The Arizona Pioneer's Home is the last remaining fully federally subsidized retirement community in the country. It was established to care for the men and women who built Arizona, a recognition that the frontier owed its pioneers a debt.
Big-Nose Kate, Mary Katherine Horony, spent her final years here. A companion of Doc Holliday and one of the most colorful characters in Wild West history, she is buried on the grounds. Two stories converge at this building: the government's obligation to its pioneers, and the final chapter of a woman whose life reads like a novel.
