2 days in Tombstone Itinerary

Founded in 1877 as a mining camp, Tombstone became one of the most storied towns of the "Wild West." As one of the last frontier boomtowns in the United States, Tombstone prospered between 1880 and 1890, attracting cattle rustlers and outlaws.

Start off your visit on the 3rd (Sun): get in on the family fun at Old Tombstone Western Theme Park, then deepen your understanding of the past and present with Goodenough Mine, and then delve into the mystery of Bird Cage Theatre. Keep things going the next day: see the interesting displays at Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park, then get engrossed in the history at O.K. Corral, and then stroll the grounds of Boothilll Graveyard.
