The Epitaph Museum

When visiting Tombstone, the site where its newspaper is published is a must-see

Located on Fifth Street between Allen and Fremont streets, The Tombstone Epitaph museum offers visitors compelling insights into the world of Journalism  and printing on the Old West frontier.

Open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, your FREE visit begins with a video display showing how the West’s most famous newspaper was produced in the early 1880s – including the Washington hand press used by John P. Clum’s printers more than 125 years ago. In the "back shop"

of the historic Epitaph building (once a meeting hall for Tombstone’s 100 most influential citizens), period furnishings, platen printing presses, composing stones, type cases, Intertype line- casting machines and interpretive displays chronicle the Epitaph’s “hot metal” days --- a must for anyone who has been associated with the “Black Art.”

Returning to the front office, peruse books on Old West history, gift items, and keepsakes.
