Area Attractions

The Famous 'Town to Tough to Die', Tombstone, is about 16 miles, with Bisbee about 30 miles away.  The Town too Tough to Die," Tombstone was perhaps the most renowned of Arizona's old mining camps. Many of Tombstone's historic buildings are within an area bounded by Fremont, 6th, Toughnut and 3rd streets. Among them are St. Paul's Episcopal Church, built in 1882; the Rose Tree Museum & Bookstore, home of the world's largest rose tree; and, the Tombstone Epitaph building, where the oldest continuously published paper in Arizona is still being printed. Western printing history exhibits in the front office are free to the public.  Truly a Historical American Landmark, Tombstone is America's best example of our 1880 western heritage, which is well preserved with original 1880's buildings and artifacts featured in numerous museums.
