You read that right! Tombstone, just like the movie that starred the beloved actor Kurt Russell. You can go live out the cowgirl experience.
This old town was once a mining camp where miners went in search of silver. It later became a booming city in the west with hotels, theatres, and bars. And yes, this is where the famous gun battle near the O.K. Corral went down.
Go check out recreations of the town pleasures to see old saloons and gambling halls.
