I have eaten at the Copper Queen. But never stayed there. Always spent the night on my trips there in Sierra Vista.

We were passing through the area and decided to stop at Tombstone one weekday afternoon. I was expecting an over-hyped tourist trap, but found an historical gem instead. I was deeply impressed. The grave yard was touching and eerie, especially the five men hanged on the same day buried side by side.
The Birdcage Theater was very interesting. After a fire and flooding, Tombstone shut down virtually overnight. In 1889 the Birdcage was sealed up and not entered again until 1932. Almost nothing has changed since then, making it an unusually authentic piece of the old west.

Visit the Bisbee Library. It's really old.
