January 2007 - The adjacent photos show the main historic road of Tombstone,
Arizona. It has the classic western overhangs above the store fronts beside a dirt road. |
 |
It definitely has a feel and flavor of an old western town. |
 |
There are many historic buildings in and around Tombstone, including the courthouse
(top left), city hall (top right) and the chamber of commerce building (bottom). |
 |
To make it more interesting, cowboys in western garb ride horse carriages through Tombstone |
 |
History along the main road. |

I rode my bicycle around Tombstone and here's a view facing west. Tombstone
is a quiet and sleepy desert town in southeast Arizona ... This is my kind of town! :) |
 |
I went inside the Tombstone Epitaph, a museum
that displays original machines and tools used to make the city's original newspaper. |
 |
I really like the town of Tombstone, Arizona. While
staying in Tucson, it seemed many referred
to Tombstone as "tacky" and a "tourist trap," but I thought the historic area was done quite well.
It is indeed replicates what it may have been like to live in Tombstone during the settlement era.
If you love old western history, sleepy desert towns and the Southwest, I recommend you visit.
Thumbs up to Tombstone, Arizona! :) |

Check out the large prickly pear cactus I spotted! You can see more of my cactus photos
inside town here.
