GoodEnough Silver Mine, located in Tombstone, Arizona, preserves and presents authentic silver mining history through guided tours and immersive experiences. The site offers a selection of three main experiences: the Tombstone After Dark: A Ghostly Tour, the Toughnut Dinner Theater Experience Tour, and the Mine & Trolley Combo. Each experience combines historic settings, preserved artifacts, and storytelling to connect visitors with Tombstone’s mining past.
Visitors descend into an 1880s silver mine that reaches about 100 feet underground to view original artifacts and mine structures. The Mine & Trolley Combo pairs the underground exploration with a comfortable trolley ride highlighting over 55 Tombstone landmarks in a roughly 35-minute loop. The Toughnut Dinner Theater Experience Tour recreates miner life with a period meal and interpretive performances portraying both a miner and a female journalist. Tombstone After Dark: A Ghostly Tour offers an evening trolley circuit and graveyard storytelling that references the mine’s history, including accounts that more than 30 miners met their fate at the Good Enough Mine.
Guided by interpreters familiar with local history and mining heritage, GoodEnough Silver Mine presents factual, on-site interpretation suited to families, history enthusiasts, and curious travelers. The business focuses on preserving historical artifacts and presenting them in context. Interpretation focuses on historical artifacts and storytelling rather than active mining operations or mineral extraction. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak seasons and holidays.
