In a moment immortalized in history (and movies!), you can re-experience what the gunfight outside of the O.K. Corral was like in Tombstone, AZ. It's a fun experience, with actors that are humorous during their re-enactment. The feud between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday and some bad cowboys (Billy Claiborne and The Clantons) is brought to life here.
It's not very expensive, and it's a fun time. The town really does a great job of making visitors feel like they've stepped into the 1880's, and it's a great stop for any trip to southern Arizona.

Titan Missile Museum

The Titan Missile Museum, located about 20 minutes outside of Tucson, is a great way to learn about the Cold War between the USA and Russia. You'll get to enter an actual underground missile silo and see what it was like to have your hand on the key to launch a nuclear weapon. The tour docent was great at really getting everyone to understand the purposes of the Titan II missiles and what the Cold War was like. This was an incredible experience that we'd recommend for everyone.

National Museum of American Jewish History
The construction of the new National Museum of American Jewish History was completed at the end of 2010 and the building is an architectural masterpiece. Located on the opposite corner of the Independence National Historical Park Visitor's Center, this building stands out from the rest of Old City.
Once inside, the museum has an ultra modern feel. You should start at the 4th floor and work your way back to the ground floor to experience the museum in chronological order.
The actual exhibits concentrate on the history of Jewish people's immigration to America, their contributions to this country, as well as the effects of America on Jewish people around the world. For anyone with a thorough interest in American history, this museum will provide you a unique point of view of this country's history.
In addition, various special programs happen at the museum throughout the year and they can be found at their website at www.nmajh.org.
