Tombstone Junction was a small western town themed park located on Kentucky Route 90 in McCreary County, Kentucky near Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. It began operating in the 1960s and continued uninterrupted until the park was heavily damaged by fire in 1989. After this first fire, the park continued with limited operation until it was completely destroyed by a second fire in 1991. The park featured a recreation of a small western frontier town complete with train station, working saloon, dance hall, jailhouse, shanty's, and shops. There was also an outdoor amphitheater which hosted live shows featuring country and western music of the period.
The leading attraction at Tombstone Junction was a full-sized standard gauge operating steam train.
