The Tombstone Epitaph newspaper office...this paper has chronicled the people, events and places of the Old West for 133 years.  This was the paper that reported the O.K. Corral gunfight of 10/26/1881.

This courthouse was built in Tombstone in 1882.   It is now a museum.

The gallows outside of the courthouse.

Monument to Ed Schieffelin, the founder of Tombstone.  This monument is intended to represent the type of marker a miner makes in claiming a stake.
