City/town information
Tombstone, Arizona, is the most historic town of the Old West, where Wyatt Earp and the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral became the west's most famous legend. Visitors can stand at the exact site where the gunfight took place. Many of the Tombstone's original landmarks had fallen into disrepair or ruin, and have been rebuilt or restored. The main street's storefronts and boardwalks recreate an 1881 feeling. Gunfight re-enactments take place during the day.
The Boothill Graveyard has been restored, with the grave markers still maintaining their original colorful epitaphs of yesteryear. The Tombstone Court House has been restored to its 1903 version. Be sure to check out the gallows in the courtyard. One of the best attractions is the amazing Bird Cage Theater which is entirely original, as are all of its contents. The infamous honky-tonk was boarded up from 1889 to 1934, thereby preserving everything.://visitwillcox.az.gov
