There are quite a few folks walking around in period outfits, some work in the shows or local stores
The Stagecoach Driver is Darren, the Belgian Horses are Ben & Dave. And I forgot to write down the Prospecter's name.
This driver was also really nice, but somehow we got put on a different stagecoach. There are several of them running around town.
This is the largest Adobe building in the U.S.
This is now the town library.
Wyatt Earp once worked as a card dealer here, as well as many others.
The Corral where the gunfight occured is only 18' long and is behind the double doors. The doors were open at the time and several people witnessed it from the room to the left.
The gunfighters were much closer together then I'd realized. These are positioned according to a map drawn later by Wyatt Earp.
There are quite a few shops in Tombstone nowdays. We visited a few. I liked the wood sidewalks, gave it an authentic feel.
Now really, how often do you get to ride in a real stagecoach?
This is in the carriage area just outside the OK Corral.
This is the original printing press used to print the Tombstone Epitaph, the local newspaper, for many years. It was built in NYC in 1856 and used for many years in CA gold boom towns. John Clum bought it and shipped it to Tombstone in1880 to found the Epitaph.
The Epitaph is the local newspaper for Tombstone. It is still in print and is Arizona's oldest newspaper in continuous circulation.
John Clum moved to Tombstone in 1880 to found a newspaper. He declared "Every Tombstone needs an Epitaph", thereby naming his paper.
This is now a museum, the county seat was moved to Bisbee in 1929.
This was called the Elite Theater, but was a Saloon, Gambling Hall, and house of ill repute as well as a theater. Women danced in cages suspended from the ceiling - prompting Eddie Foy to declare that they were like 'birds in gilded cages'. His friend wrote a song and an unknown singer performed it here to 8 ovations - Lillian Russel.
This is the main street in Tombstone. The National Park Service has declared this a "National Historic Landmark District" in 1961.
Runabouts were built for running around and getting things done. They were cheap, simple and sturdy. They could be rented from the OK Corral for about $6 per day.
There are a couple of buggies set up for folks to try out (stationary though).
Surrey's were popular with Ladies and families. They cost $75 - $90 to buy new and could be rented for $10 day. This one was manufactured by teh Henny Buggy Co. in Freeport, IL in 1890.
This gives you some idea how the Old Cemetary (aka Boothill) appears on the hill.
