On Monday we went back to Tombstone to finish looking at stuff that was too busy on Saturday. The city was less crowded but they still had a nice crowd. Everything was still open.
We went to the Courthouse museum and looked at a lot of the artifacts. It's interesting how the names you remember from the Tombstone movies are listed all over town, but when you dig into the facts you find the truth or a better, more believable story.
The courthouse had some of the old rooms still furnished as in the 1880's and the courtroom had been restored back to the 1880 look.
Next we when to Big Nose Kate's for lunch. Nice old western bar. The food was surprising good. Also got to try some Prickly Pear Tequila.
After lunch we went to a unique museum. Its big draw is the oldest rose bush.
The owners of the museum are the original owners of the house and they saved everything, so there some great family photos and artifacts. Like one the original owner and his son sitting with Geronimo at a peace conference. Also one of the family members was a Doolittle raider in WWII.
I have a lot of photos on Flickr
