Step into the Wild West in the historic city of Tombstone, Arizona. Founded in 1879 by Ed Schieffelin, Tombstone quickly grew from a small town into a bustling mining town where conflicts and shootouts abounded, the most famous being the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. By the mid-1880s, the silver mines were producing $40 to $85 million in silver bullion. Now no longer a city filled with 24 hour saloons and rootin' tootin' cowboys, Tombstone is a respectable community that receives approximately 450,000 visitors each year. Visitors are drawn to the remnants of history seen in the old buildings and underground mine tours, the craft breweries, and the trail rides on horseback, among other attractions.
