TOMBSTONE , Ariz. -- — Time to pack the car for another episode of One Tank Trips. We're taking you to fun places around Southern Arizona where you can get there on one tank of gas.
Before we roamed the old hallways inside, we stopped to check in with Leslie, our guide. He said this courthouse was badly needed back in 1881 when Tombstone grew to thousands of citizens, and had to split from Pima County. The grand staircase takes us to the second floor. You'll find more family heirlooms — maybe a friendly bony face — and then you step into the actual courtroom.
The courthouse had most necessary government offices, even a jail. Out on the old yard, the gallows are a reminder of what justice looked like back in those times. Leslie pointed to the story of the Bisbee Massacre in 1883. Five outlaws were hanged here but their alleged ringleader, John Heath, was instead sentenced to life in prison. That didn't sit well with an angry mob in 1884.
"They put a penthouse on top, but they didn't finish and so it became abandoned by the 40s.," Leslie said,"so this was starting to just waste away."
