Boothill Cemetery

Location: Tombstone, Arizona, USA

Summary: A brief visit to the Boothill Cemetery had me wandering around looking for graves & names I recognised from the old cowboy films I used to watch, specifically Gunfight at the OK Coral.

Boothill Graveyard, originally called Boothill Cemetery, was founded in 1878. After a new cemetery was built, Boothill stopped accepting most burials around 1883. It fell into disrepair until the 1940s when restoration efforts began. Today it is one of Tombstoneโ€™s most visited attractions, known for its history and its famously blunt and humorous epitaphs.
