The locals really get into the re-enactment everyday. While there are paid actors that roam around the town, the citizens also enjoy dressing up and going about in 1880s clothing.
I enjoy going there (and I don't like touristy places) but I wished that they had some sort of emblem or indicator that one is a local so as not to get hassled by the guys pushing the haunted Tombstone tours.

I've visited there several times. I also liked Ft. Bowie, nothing like I imagined it would be. I liked the trail signs en-route to the fort," Rattlesnakes have right of way".
