Hearts of the West

An image of the old Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone with a suit of hearts. Between 1881 and 1889, the Bird Cage served as a theater, gambling hall, saloon and brothel and was known as one of the wildest and wickedest establishments in the Wild West. When Tombstone went bust in 1889, the building was sealed up and not reopened until 1934, so much of the original interior was preserved by the dry desert climate. It is rumored to be haunted.

Old Tombstone Courthouse

The Cochise Country Courthouse in Tombstone, Arizona was built in 1882 and is now a museum. One of the most authentic sights in Tombstone, it's been designated a State Historic Park and contains a wealth of history and artifacts, including information and diagrams of the famous gunfight at the OK Corral between Wyatt Earp and the Clantons. This image shows the courtroom where many Western outlaws were tried and subsequently hanged in the adjacent gallows.
