- Today we’re taking a look at the historic buildings of Tombstone. We’ll see how they have changed thru the years…if they survived the fires! We’ll also check out some abandoned locations and get an exclusive look at parts of Tombstone that are rarely seen by tourists.
Very nice of the officer to take you around and show you the police station and old jail.
Big props to the Marshal that showed you around. Thank you sir very much..
So nice of the Marshal to take time for that tour. Love the town, you can almost feel the hauntings.
I have to get back to visit Tombstone, it's been 50 years. Thanks for tour, it was great that you were granted special access. Seeing the inside of
schieffelin hall was special. I believe Morgan Earp and Doc Holiday saw a show there the night Morgan was murdered.
+1 to the Tombstone Marshals office for the tour!
Thank you and God bless our LEO's for their service.
Thank you too!
Another historic building is St. Paul's Episcopal Church built in 1882. It is located at 55 N. St. It is the oldest Protestant church in Arizona. Wyatt Earp and friends donated money to help build the church.
I believe Gary’s wife’s family originally homesteaded that land. They created a series of ponds fed by Turkey Creek that are stocked with fish and it’s just breathtaking country! Their daughter Tobilynn Smith was a friend of mine and she passed away in August of 2022 and is buried in the family cemetery. Such an amazing family and beautiful slice of Heaven here in southern Arizona!
Love Tombstone, Bisbee, Prescott and all the old 1800s towns here in AZ.
This only just scratches the surface of the history in Tombstone. Great introduction to it tho.
If you ever want to film upstairs in Schieffelin Hall, let me know. The upstairs was built to be a Masonic Lodge in 1881 and is still used as as Lodge today. William Harwood was a Mason and helped start King Solomon #5 Territorial Lodge in Tombstone in June, 1881. Many of the furniture pieces upstairs are original and still used today. Virgil Earp, Johnny Behan and Milton Joyce all petitioned to join Masonry, but all 3 were denied. They have the original petitions in the Archives of the Lodge. Great video and keep it up!
That would be amazing! The city said that part of the building was off limits.
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures When will you be in Tombstone next?
I’m in town now but I’m a bit under the weather. I’m hoping to be better by tomorrow or Sunday. If that doesn’t work, anytime that works for you. Thanks.
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures are you available this week? I can meet about 0930 or late afternoon
@@danielkilpatrick3354 yeah does tomorrow morning work?
Kudos to the Sheriff who gave you a guided tour! Last visited Tombstone in 1971 when I was 15. My dad took us on a tour of Arizona and he was an avid fan of Wyatt Earp. My teen self wasn't terribly impressed and the town certainly didn't look like what you filmed. I might go back someday and take another look!
Gotta get back there!?
Married in tombstone in 1999 ❤ memories !
I've been there twice. Well worth the drive if you're vacationing in the Tucson area.
I was married in Tombstone in 2011 and to this day our guests said it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding.
That’s awesome!
We had our honeymoon there almost 7 years ago. Had a blast.
I also got married in tombstone in 1999 at the old church ! My husband passed away on Jan 28 ! memories ❤
Outstanding! I frequently go to Tombstone and every time I am never disappointed!
I've had a few drinks at Big Nose Kate's, and the Crystal Palace.
So cool the Marshall gave you a tour, thanks to him. Appreciated much so. I've never been & probable never will, so these vedios are so fun. Love history, especially the old west & outlaws, so thank you for doing these.
Great Job! I haven't seen a lot of those buildings on the inside.
Great job! It's nice when you can get access like that to historical buildings!
Yes it is!
Bravo! The last time I went to Tombstone was in 1994. You produced a high-quality video, and having access to the inside of these historic buildings not normally open to the public is an added bonus. Well done!
Thanks for watching!
And be sure to check out part two!
Scheifflen (?) Hall-
That old wall paper, I suggest preserving as much of it as possible, then selling pieces of it publicly to raise money for the preservation of this and other historic buildings in town. I'm aware of some Air Museums that have done this with sections of aluminum from various historic aircraft undergoing restoration. They've been quite successful in many cases.
EDIT
Thank you to the Marshall for allowing the interior of the offices to be recorded!
Thanks Officer Tim!
Might put tombstone on my bucket list
I love Tombstone, have only been there twice but actually have plans to go again this year. It is a nice chill place where you just park your car at the hotel and can walk everywhere you need to go.
Attaboy, Desert Sky Adventures!!! Totally awesome, especially the Marshal actually taking time to show you the entire building!!! This is the first time I have ever seen your vlogs, but I will definitely check you out again!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video tour. Speaking as a RUclipsr myself, you are talented.
Thank you! 😊
Outstanding video!
I live near Tombstone, and have visited countless times. I've actually been inside Schieffelin Hall, but not nearly as far into it as this video took us. And I've never been inside the old City Hall / Marshal's Office. It was fascinating!
One place you missed is Virgil's Corner. Virgil Earp's house burned down in the 1990s, and was rebuilt as a Bed & Breakfast. Another interesting place.
Pretty sure the actual gun fight at the OK corral was in that parking lot of the marshal's building. Not where the reenactment takes place. Toured the building before and after the renovation and they did a fabulous job!
I live about 2 hours N of Tombstone. Its fun to attend events where townsfolk where period costumes.
Very good video. I didn't realize that there had been so many fires in Tombstone.
Yes there have been quite a few. Most old west towns have burned down at least once.
What made me sad to find the billiard table where Morgan Earp was shot used as display table for clothing .. Great Video I love how detail you are ..
Thank you. 👍
Exactly. Every time I went through there they never acknowledged the billiard table. I asked why, the concern was people chipping away at it. Why not display it behind glass
William G. Ya, I was there a few years back & got two tours. I enquired, was shown the table in private. Was explained because people were actually ripping up the felt on top and glass inclosure took up too much space. Sad people have to ruin things!!! 😪 Had a great time. A one day stay turned into 5 days. God bless the citizens of Tombstone!! Judy
Very interesting, bro! Thanks for the guided tour. Lots of history to digest!😃😄👍
Glad you enjoyed it
So sad to see how run down the Old High School is. We did get to go inside last fall when we had the centennial celebration. Hopefully the buyer will restore the building.
Excellent show. Probably your best effort.
Thank you!
Cool episode! Thanks!
Thank you!
I love then and now photographs whether or not the subject matter. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Ok, another super walk into the past...wow I love the old photos of Tombstone. Thank you for all the research and the excellent tours, I learn something new every time...💯💥
Our pleasure!
I see my white Volvo in the video wow ….. parked in front of the OK Cafe wow …..❤
Your my type of guy, I love history of the west, I wish we all could step back in the times of west
This video is great. I really love it when you have the time to edit clips together to make a mini-movie. It tells a good story and shows things to do in Tombstone. These type of videos are my favorite of your work. :-)
Thank you Mavis! I’m glad you liked it. 👍
Interesting video, it is the second one of yours I've watched and I subscribed after the first one. I watched this one closely because I lived in Tombstone from 2000-2003. I have visited most of the places you showed us. And ate many a meal at the OK Cafe and drank more than a few beers in the Chrystal Palace. Of all the saloons in town, it was my favorite. I particularly enjoyed the old city hall tour. When I lived there the Marshalls office was in the back of the building in the old section. I would guess the main part of the building has been rebuilt since 2003. When I moved away all the streets in the historical district were paved. A movement had been started to put 'Hollywood dirt' on Allen Street. The last time I visited there in 2006 this had been done. But it looked much better in your videos than it did then. At the time I saw what they had put down it was in my humble opinion nasty. It was not very clean looking like it is in your video. Tombstone was an interesting place to live for a few years. I plan on visiting Arizona again and perhaps stopping by Crystal Place for a beer and the OK Cafe for lunch.
Thanks for your support!
Love this! Thanks for taking us along! 👍👍❤🤍💙
Our pleasure!
Excellent job! It's good to see something different in Tombstone videos for a change.
Thank you very much!
A nice video. You got a first class tour of the Marshall's facility! A football team from the Mormon Colony in Mexico used to come up and play against Tombstone on the football field adjacent to the old high school building. Their colors were black and yellow like a Bee. 🐝
Well you did it again bro taught me some more history about tombstone that I didn't know the big fire I'd never even heard of that anyway I have noticed that lately there's several other people doing tombstone videos looks like you got something going now and you got competition I wouldn't worry about it anyway thank you another great video I'm still waiting to see when you guys get out in the desert and find stuff.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
What a great video! Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it! Make sure to see part 2!
Very cool
You did a fantastic job collecting shots and pictures to give us a great visual experience. Sad to see so much damage from people through the years as you look at vacated buildings. I love the old history that so many can care less about, but to me it is birth, death, gun fights, cowboys, justice, community and so much more. The famous who past through and and the legend of tombstone and the OK corral, my favorite western story. Been to Glenwood springs CO Doc's resting place and still would love to visit Wyatt Earp's. Thank you so much for such a great tour of my favorite western in history.😊
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Thank you great video, I love Tombstone
Be sure to check out the 2nd part!
Thank you so much for making this vid; we live in Northern AZ and checking out Tombstone is one of the things I've had on my "places to visit" in-state list for a few years now. I just have to pick a time when it's neither furnace-hot or getting dumped on. 🙂
Now off to check out more of your videos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice tour !
Fun video! Thank you.
If you have jury duty in Bisbee, the marshals will give you a tour of the building during your lunchbreak. Pretty interesting. *edit: the Tombstone High School could be converted into a convention center. Just imagine weddings, reunions, Christmas parties, and gem and mineral shows could bring extra revenue...
That would be cool but the guy that bought it has other plans.
@Desert Sky Adventures - TOMBSTONE, AZ not another restaurant? By the way, if you happen to go into Red Buffalo Trading Co. say hello to Coreen for me. She was a former coworker of mine on Ft Huachuca. Love your two-minute shorts.
Very cool, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Love the video, man. I visited Tombstone in April 2016 but only got to spend a few hours there.
Wow...86K views! Not too shabby!
Hey I see my old locker at the high school!
Wow, went there years ago, not busy then, not to busy now. John P.
EXCELLENT !!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Do you know if the original Marshalls office out back was the same one that Marshall Earp worked out of ??? or was there another office at that time?? Thanks again GOD Bless
I believe Wyatt Earp’s office at the time was on the top floor of what is now the Crystal Palace…if I remember correctly.
T😊he reason those two build.ings survived is because it was made of adobe so when placed in a fire situation it makes it stronger.
My husband and I liked to do an overnight adventure
Just see Lil towns that u don't hear of. No Starbucks just local businesses. But no 1 sold hats or t shirts, I'd bought 1 if they had them. So Townes sell baseball hats with ur businesses or town names, we want them! ✌️
Fun video, thanx. Grammar check. There is no apostrophe in 1890s, 1910s, etc.
I have to agree with you about the OK Cafe, delicious.
Hurray nice
Awesome video.
Thanks!
Nice job! What music did you use? Beautiful.
Thanks, nice video.
Glad you liked it!
One of the host of the Bird Cage was murdered a few years ago in Tombstone. I remember talking with him when on a visit there.
cool marshall
Nice video. Greetings from Dortmund
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Yes Fred white was shot and killed in that area but of course the birdcage saloon was not there at the time it was completed in 1881 and Fred White was shot in 1880 and I believe it opened two months after the shootout at the OK corral, and the fire, was three months before the shoot out
The Marshall was very 😎
Tactical Tombstone…
People have asked me to buy the hotel. I want to invest but I can’t afford that.
The Tombstone high school you said 1922, in the video it shows 2022, OOPS!
The picture is from 2022. It’s to compare the pic taken in the 20’s to what the school looks like today.
L next time you're there in tombstone, can you check out the graveyard?
Boot Hill?
Did the bank ever get robbed
According to the guy that works inside, no. Never been robbed.
That was one heck of a seafood delivery company in the 1800s, that could deliver 314 miles daily. I've travel on a horse and you can do around 20-30 tops, on a really hard & good day.
Maybe I'm missing something???
There was more than one wagon.
There was probably more than one company.
Was married at that church in 1999 ❤❤❤
Who/ what started all the fires? Did they use that ladies cow from San Francisco?, or dod they have their own arsonist mammal?
I’m sure it’s documented somewhere. I don’t know off the top of my head. But most of the buildings were wooden and they used candle light so…you can see how there could be an issue.
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures yeah, Im aware of the lighting, I live the same way today. But thats an awful lot of burning for a time period when they were used to kerosene lamps and candles all the time.
I don't think I buy the story of Marshall White being shot outside of the birdcage theater for a number of reasons. White was shot in 1880. The Birdcage wasn't even built and complete till December 26th 1881. The movie is also wrong showing the Earps going to the theater, when they first arrived in town because it wasn't even built yet
I said he was shot on the lot where the birdcage now stands.
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures oh ok
This video was done in June of 2022
It wasn’t quite that long ago. I filmed this after I moved in October of 22.
Wait… was that a child
On 5:00 when you come up the steps?
In the era correct dress?!?!
Lol…no that was the lady from the city that let me in. You see her for a split second as she walks off frame to the right. It does look weird though. 👍
@@Desert.Sky.Adventures LOL!!!!!!! She moved like a ghost.
That's not what it looked like 12 yrs ago.
Why do you drown out your voice with the music?
I was fortunate to see Tombstone back in the 1960's when it was still really cool. Before all the T-shirt shops showed up and all the rest of the yuppie crap.
Yuppie crap? You’re going to need to explain that. There are shops that sell t shirts but no t shirt shops.

Ahhĥhhh
You are spending too much time on restorations!
I don’t decide what gets restored and what doesn’t.
YOU ARE NOT''''''''PRONOUNCING THE NAMES OF THESE HISTORICAL PLACES CORRECTLY!!!
YOU ARE NOT’’’’’’’’USING APOSTROPHE’S CORRECTLY!!!
That's pronounced "sheffelin".
Sorry you need a lesson in buildings history.Want old look east not west.
Huh? That makes no sense.
