Allen Street, Tombstone Historic District
Allen Street is the heart of Tombstone's historic district, an outdoor Old West street lined with saloons, museums, shops and dining in the buildings along it. The town itself has no set hours, though most attractions and shops open between 9 and 10 in the morning and close between 5 and 6 in the evening, while restaurants and saloons stay open later. Tombstone grew from an 1880s silver boom into a wealthy, modern town, and today its gunfight reenactments and saloon shows are advertised as family-friendly.
