City Park Tombstone's City Park is a wonderful place to sit and relax a bit during your travels about town in search of the mother lode of history and entertainment scattered throughout the town. The Park has restrooms, picnic tables, a swingset, and a beautiful gazebo. Please note: No
dogs are allowed in the City Park.
Schieffelin
Monument Tombstone, AZ 85638 
After cashing in on the Arizona bonanza, Ed Schieffelin went back to the mining life he knew so well. He prospected in Alaska in 1882, and later in the Pacific Northwest. Schieffelin died in Grant County, Oregon, on May 14, 1897, at the age of 49. At his request, he was returned to Tombstone for burial, nine days after his death. He
was afforded a grand funeral at Schieffelin Hall. He was laid to rest
on a hillside about a mile from town, beneath a marker (pictured above)
in the shape of a miner's claim.
Tombstone Courthouse The Tombstone Courthouse State Historic
Park, 219 E. Toughnut St., was built at a spare no expense cost of
$50,000 in 1882. The building contains displays pertaining to the
history of Tombstone and Cochise County, using antiques and artifacts
to present the lives of former citizens. Among the displays are a
full-sized jail cell, a gallows, and a beautifully restored courtroom. SOURCES: AAA
