Review & FAQ:

Tombstone is a delightful town in southeastern Arizona that is known throughout the United States for its Old West-related attractions, including the famed O.K. Corral, the site of a seminal 1881 cowboy gunfight that has been immortalized in many feature films and television series. The city, which is located just half an hour from the United States-Mexico border, thrived throughout the mid-19th century, once home to 110 saloons, 14 gambling halls, three newspapers, and a number of infamous brothels and dance houses. Today, Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park showcases exhibits connected to the city's colorful history, including a replica town gallows. The bullet-riddled Bird Cage Theatre is purportedly haunted by town resident ghosts, open to the public for self-guided tours.
