Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park


The city of Tombstone and its Chamber of Commerce operate the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park which is open from 9am until 5pm seven days a week. The Victorian styled two story structure designed in a Roman cross shape during 1882 housed various offices in addition to the Cochise Country courtrooms. Now the twelve thousand square foot building serves as a museum that holds the territory's beginnings.

Exhibits in the Courthouse Museum include a replication of a gallow that saw the hanging of seven men. Visitors can learn about pioneers, cattlemen and miners in the facility.

The park does not allow anything but water to be taken into the Courthouse. There is no running and patrons are asked not to cross the partitions on the exhibits. There are no pets, fireworks or firearms allowed in the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park. There is no smoking or commercial photography permitted in the facility.

The Visitor Center at the Park is open from 9am until 5pm each day with the exception of Christmas Day. There are handicapped accessible restrooms and a gift shop at the facility. The gift shop has a number of items to remind visitors of the trip. There are two shaded picnic tables by the courthouse for patrons to enjoy.
