We visited “Boot Hill Cemetery,” just outside Tombstone first. Many of the markers looked like they were not original, or perhaps they had been touched up over time, but the inscriptions were interesting anyway.
The park owners here were friendly and helpful. We were escorted to pull through space 30. Partly cloudy, breezy, comfortable temp in the 80s.
The sites in the park were marked with cute “tombstones.”
“Boot Hill Cemetery” is a must see at Tombstone. There’s an admission charge but it’s worth it. Burial site of the Clanton Gang (famous from the “shootout at the OK Corral), many graves marked “unknown,” and a separate Chinese section. Racism even after death.
Tombstone is an interesting town. I bet it would have been a really nice place to live if it hadn’t been for all the violence, bars, and brothels. They even had their own distinct Chinatown area. We took a nice stagecoach ride around the town that gave a pretty good history of the buildings. Tombstone had a couple of big fires there back in the day, and they say only one building there is original. The place was not too Disney, and I enjoyed the visit. Would have stayed longer if we had money to shop and eat there, but alas, no, we didn’t.
Here are a few of the sights in Tombstone:
