About Tombstone Historic District

Tombstone's historic district covers about 42 acres of the old silver mining town and has been a National Historic Landmark since 1961. Much of the business district was rebuilt after fires in 1881 and 1882; landmarks include Schieffelin Hall, the Bird Cage Theatre and the 1882 City Hall. On Allen Street you can visit the O.K. Corral and the Crystal Palace Saloon. The former Cochise County Courthouse is now a state historic park.
