Though we've been to Tombstone and Bisbee, Arizona numerous times, there's still plenty to see. Today we go seeking some of the lesserknown sites including famous graves, a centuryold rose tree in bloom, and America's oldest ballpark.

On a beautiful April day, what can be more fun than hopping in the car and seeing new things? That's exactly what we decided to do. Knowing there were still things we had yet to see in both Tombstone and Bisbee, we went out with some ideas and the spirit of adventure.

MidApril brings about the blooming of Tombstone's Shady Lady, the World's Largest Rose Tree at the Rose Tree Museum. Before heading in to witness the blooms, we poke around Allen Street, Fremont Street, and other neighboring roads to see what buildings we hadn't shown before including Schiefflin Hall and the old Tombstone Epitaph.

The rose tree itself was amazing. The tree covers 8,000 square feet of small white fragrant blooms that can be smelled around town. After hanging out entranced by its beauty and making friends with the resident museum cat, we headed out to our next destination.

Embedded deep in the history of Tombstone is famed photographer, C.S. Fly. His final resting place is within Tombstone Cemetery where plenty of other pioneers and residents of the towns boom rest.

But his grave was not the only famous one in Tombstone. After a drive down a wellmaintained dirt road, we came across the monument for Ed Schiefflin, the founder of the town of Tombstone. We can't think of a more scenic place with views of the Dragoon Mountains.

Once completing our quick tour of Tombstone, we hurried off to Bisbee with lunch in mind. After a quick stop at the Table for a burger and onion rings, some antique shopping was in order. We didn't go away emptyhanded in this fascinating labyrinth of antiques and old memories.

The next stop was the Lavender Pit, an old pit mine from the early 1900s whose size honestly has to be seen to be believed.

From there we sought out what has been dubbed America's Oldest Ballfield Warren Ballpark. Though closed at the time of our visit, this 1909 baseball field is still used.

Finally, we wrapped up one site from our Bisbee Massacre video the final resting place of John C. Tappeiner Jr, the first victim of the shootings.
