Tombstone's Historama, Tombstone

The Historama is included when you buy tickets to the Ok Corral show along with tickets to the Epitaph. It's nice to do that after watching the show so you can sit inside and cool off for a while. The historama is super old and spins in 4 different sections showing the progression of the town. It's actually pretty comical when some of the figures move. There's a screen that comes down and Vincent Price narrates in-between the figures moving. The only downside was the lady forgot to turn the projector on so someone had to go out and inform her of it. It was so distracting with doors opening,closing, and a lot of chatter. She should've restarted the show since we hadn't gotten very far in the program.

Fun but mostly shopping and walking.

This was an interesting presentation on the history of Tombstone, but it seriously needs an update. It was completely white-centric. The Apache were mentioned briefly as "marauders", while the white settlers were "brave". Then the Indigenous people completely disappeared from the narrative, save for Geronimo's surrender. When we know better, we can do better. It's time for the Historama to do better!

Had a great time walking the street and checking out all the stores. Had lunch at the Crystal Palace Saloon. Sat at the bar and enjoyed my brew & food. Entertainment was great.

Excellent history and gun show a must in tombstone
