The Pioneer Saloon

George Fayle moved to southern Nevada from Calico, California in 1904 and settled at Goodsprings Junction, which was later renamed for his wife Jean. In 1912, he moved to Goodsprings, where he built the Pioneer Saloon in 1913 and later built the Fayle General Store and the Fayle Hotel. Though he died in the flu epidemic of 1918, his vision lived on through his saloon, which remained a center of community life. Later owners also shaped the community, especially "Poppa Don" Hedrick, who raised money for local causes and ran a local ambulance service.
