The Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park occupies the former Cochise County courthouse, built in 1882. This two-story red-brick building now serves as a museum dedicated to the town's history. Visitors can wander through restored courtrooms, a jail cell, and galleries displaying artifacts from the silver mining era, including period furnishings, photographs, and a recreated assay office. Exhibits cover the Earp-Clanton feud, the town's founding, and the diverse communities that shaped it. The park offers a comprehensive, family-friendly look at Tombstone's past, with knowledgeable staff and a gift shop.
