O.K. Corral, Historical livery and corral in Tombstone, United States.
The O.K. Corral is a historic livery and corral building in Tombstone, Arizona, with reconstructed structures and life-sized figures depicting the people involved in the famous incident. The site sits adjacent to hotels, saloons, and other period buildings in the restored downtown area.
Built in 1879 as a livery operation, the site served travelers passing through the Arizona Territory. In 1881 it became the location of a brief gunfight between lawmen and outlaws, an event that came to define perceptions of the American West.
The place takes its name from the nearby OK Saloon, which had painted OK on a sign outside. Visitors can walk through the tight corral space and picture how people gathered in this confined area during that pivotal moment.
The site opens daily and includes several connected museums surrounding the corral that visitors can explore at their own pace. Morning and late afternoon hours tend to be less crowded than midday, making for a more comfortable visit.
The C.S. Fly Photo Gallery contains over one hundred original photographs from the 1880s, some featuring Apache leader Geronimo and other frontier figures of that era. These images offer a rare visual window into the actual daily life of Tombstone from more than a century ago.
