Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park

Overview

There are two versions of Tombstone. The first is the stuff of legends. The second is the real history, which, while entertaining and almost unbelievable, is a little less grandiose. For anyone especially interested in learning the full story of Tombstone, a visit to the Tombstone Courthouse is an absolute must. Cochise County built the courthouse in 1882 for the administrators of the then-newly created county. It remained in use until 1929, when the county seat relocated to Bisbee. After its abandonment, the proprietors planned to repurpose the courthouse as a hotel, but today it houses a museum dedicated to telling the historically accurate story of Tombstone.
