Here is some Tombstone info from the wiki:

Tombstone is home to perhaps the most famous graveyard of the Old West, Boot Hill. Buried at the site are various victims of violence and disease in Tombstone’s early years, including those from the O.K. Corral. Boot Hill (also known as the old city cemetery) was also the destination for bad-men and those lynched or legally hanged in Tombstone. Admission to this historic site is free and donations are accepted.

Saloon ladies on Allen Street in 2006The lot in which the historic gunfight at the O.K. Corral occurred in 1881 is also preserved, but this has been walled off, and admission is charged. However, since much of this streetfight occurred in Tombstone’s Fremont Street (modern Highway 80), much of this site is also viewable without admission charge.

According to Guinness, the world’s largest rosebush was planted in Tombstone in 1885 and still flourishes today in the city’s sunny climate. This Lady Banksia rose now covers 8,000 square feet (740 m²) of the roof on an inn, and has a 12-foot (3.7 m) circumference trunk. [1]

Currently, tourism and western memorabilia are the main commercial enterprises; a July 2005 CNN article notes that Tombstone receives approximately 450,000 tourist visitors each year. This is about 300 tourists/year for each permanent resident. In contrast to its heyday, when it featured saloons open 24 hours and numerous houses of prostitution, Tombstone is now a staid community with few businesses open late
