| That's pretty cool. It must have been the courthouse where they tried to prosecute the Earps for the shooting at the OK Coral. I never new the name of the court house. House was the visit. I heard alot of the historical value was lost and it became a tourist trap? I would still love to go see!

WOW it was really cool and yes a big tourist trap. Most of the "places" are gift shops. The only one not really changed was the courthouse. It had more meaning to me. Walking around inside was fun and interesting.
I was starting to wonder where the real Courtroom was....walked into it and was stopped dead in my tracks. It is a plain room, high ceilings, lights hanging down BUT something DEMANDS your attention. All I could do was stand and stare.....with my mouth hanging open.
Maybe its the history that I know, maybe its the ghosts of the past, maybe it is that I am an Earp. Who knows......
Next time I HAVE to bring the kids. I am sure they will love the "shoot-out" and all the other trappings..NO I did NOT go uuggggg I love history not make believe. I do have to say some of the shops had some really wonderful western art and sculpturs. Lots of books on the Earps and western/Arizona history.
I hope they feel the courtroom.
I will say Arizona has ALOT of friendly people. Awsome sunsets. Yeap will go back again.
