New gallery added to
The Wyatt Earp home
The
owners of the newly restored historic house announced the opening of
the gallery at The Wyatt Earp House & Gallery, LLC, in Tombstone,
Arizona.
The
Gallery, located in the Wyatt Earp House, offers an eclectic collection
of western and southwestern art, featuring several Arizonan artists.
Local
Tucsonans', Jim Allen, love for history attracted him to the yearlong
project of restoring the house. After pouring over several historical
documents and some early photographs of the area, Jim proceeded to
restore the house to its original size and appearance.
Owners Jim and Liz Allen wanted the home open to the public without having to charge an admission fee.
The
home near the world-famous Boot Hill Cemetery -- where Wyatt Earp was
reported living when he, his brothers and Doc Holiday, squared off
against the cowboys at the OK Corral, is now the home for the art of 16
Arizonan artists.
Two hundred to two hundred and fIfty people attended the grand opening to the gallery on October the 15, 2005.
