Tombstone, Arizona is home to one of the most fascinating landmarks in the West.

Today, this former brothel has been kept intact as a museum and attraction. Read on to learn more about this historic cat house with a murderous past.
The Bird Cage was one of the most notorious and outrageous spots in Arizona, and perhaps even the entire west. The theater now holds nightly ghost tours, and is a popular Tombstone attraction. Check out its website here.
