In the town that wouldn’t die, courthouse wouldn’t, either

City officials say Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park was too valuable to see closed. The community instead will be operating the park for at least three years.

TOMBSTONE — It’s around 90 degrees outside and Mary Evans is buttoned up in a long-sleeved, high-collared white blouse that’s fastened at the neck with a black cameo. A black wool skirt, worn over bloomers, skims the top of her black boots.
It looks uncomfortable, but Evans doesn’t seem to mind.
After six years of volunteering at the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park, Evans says she still gets caught up every time she browses the cases of wedding dresses, children’s shoes, dolls and toys.

So glad to hear the court house will not be closing its doors. That would have been a real loss for the comunity.
I commend these citizens of Tombstone for keeping this historic site open.
Hats off to the Chamber and the City. Job well done
Good job Tombstone. Hopefully every new day will be an improvement over the
previous one.
