MI Printing AZ History: Printing in Tombstone Arizona

Being located in the Phoenix Metropolitan area of Arizona we are proud of the state's wide and varied history.

Everyone has heard of the Shoot Out at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone Arizona.

But did you know that in the Tombstone Epitaph building, the oldest continuously published newspaper in Arizona, The Tombstone Epitaph, is still being printed.

There are many Western printing history exhibits in their front office that are free to the public.

For 128 years, The Tombstone Epitaph® has chronicled the people, events and places of the Old West. Each monthly issue delivers rich stories and illustrations about lawmen and outlaws, soldiers and Indians, settlers and towns, inventions and intrigues, frontier cookery, western humor and western travels.

So when visiting in Tombstone AZ remember there are more things to see and do than just the Gunfight and Bird Cage Theater.

You can visit the The Tombstone Epitaph website to see the many ways you can learn more about the historic Arizona city of Tombstone.
