The Tombstone Courthouse, built in 1882, served as the county seat for 50 years. Between 1882 and 1906, seven hangings took place there. Despite Tombstone’s reputation for violence and crime, all seven executions were connected to only two major cases. / Photo by Val Davidson/TSM Tombstone Courthouse.
