Bringing History to Life: The Dedicated Volunteer Duo of Tombstone

His wife, Tawyna, joined, bringing historically accurate period clothing and a gift for storytelling to make territorial history come to life. Learn how this dynamic volunteer duo found a meaningful role at Arizona State Parks and Trails.
