A walk through Tombstone Part 05

In Part 05 we start at the site of Virgil Earp's house (now a BNB) and we head south on 1st Street to Toughnut Street. We then head east to the old Court House, passing old historic houses. We pass the Gunfighter Hall of Fame and Museum and Tombstone library which, I believe was the old train depot. We continue east past the "Good Enough" mine and end at Tombstone Engine Company Number 1, which is now the senior center.

Tombstone has events going on all the time. On this day, it was the "Donkey Days". This is a fun competition where people run around a course with a donkey and try to get the best time. In addition, they have a competition to see who can scoop up the most donkey poop in the shortest period of time.

Due to the number of kids in the events and the YouTube policies related to kids (which I didn't want to navigate), I decided to leave the Donkey Days out and just do a walk around town.

In this video you will notice that we stop at several placards that tell the history of a specific spot. There are a few dozen of these markers around town. We have several videos coming out that we all "Tombstone by the numbers", where we visit each of these spots.

The Tombstone Restoration Commission has created a book that outlines all of this history. I would encourage people to spend the $10 and get the book. The money goes to restoring old historical sites. You can even volunteer to help with the effort.

In still more videos we are going to do indepth tours of many of these points.
