Above are the gallows just outside the courthouse. Five men were hanged on the same day for committing a robbery in a nearby town where three people died.
Tombstone was a mining town that sprang up quickly because of silver found in the nearby hills. This is equipment found in the assay office. A miner could bring in a sample of his ore to test for purity.
Tourists could see the town from the windows of a few stagecoaches still in operation. Note the sign for the OK Corral behind the coach.
Some residents brought their own means of transportation into town.
On our way out of Tombstone we had to stop at the BootHill Grave Yard. For a $3.00 entry fee they even gave you a descriptive list of more than 250 graves there.
Here are the graves of the three men killed at the OK Corral by the three Earp brothers and Doc Holliday. May they rest in peace. 💀💀💀
