HANGED ~ FEBRUARY 9, 1883

Dead man talking ~~~ dead men DO tell tales!

Do you like history, ghosts & magic? Then you’ll love our interactive, 60-minute, indoor, Magic Show hosted by the spirited ghost of Albuquerque's first Town Constable, Milton J. Yarberry! This unique show features true stories blended with humor & magical effects.

Milton J. Yarberry was exactly the type of man who laid foundations for the American West while pursuing his personal obsessions. In the historic Old Town area, today's art galleries, restaurants & retail shops were once wild saloons, rough gambling halls & numerous "houses of negotiated affection." Hear how corruption, scandal & lawlessness plagued Albuquerque with the coming of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad in 1880, bringing the need for law & order.

Now you can experience Old Town through the eyes of Constable, Milton J. Yarberry. After being convicted for murder, he met his fate at the end of a hangman's noose in 1883... Discover the magic, myths & legends of the west’s least competent Lawman. The stories are all true, but the names might have been changed to protect the dead!

Yarberry in chains in 1883 - awaiting execution
When Milton Yarberry comes back to “visit”, you’ll find him almost as quick with his witty remarks, as he was with his six shooter. A bit short tempered, we don’t let him wear his hardware, but that won’t stop him from occasionally shooting off his mouth...

Rest in Peace

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

from the Outlaw Tours & Shows

06/15/2008 - Ami C. - Albuquerque

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts Tour

The Outlaws show is AWESOME! You can expect to go down dark alleys, lover's paths, sanctuaries where strange noises can actually be heard, looking for the fellow ghosts of old town.  Not only do you learn about the ghosts but also the history that makes Albuquerque what it is today.  I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to step back into time of old town.

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts

We took the Outlaws Tour on Friday night March 7th. This was our first Ghost Tour and was really our first tour of any kind in Old Town. Our guide was Sheriff Milton Yarberry played by Blake. We loved the magic and we loved the tour. So much so in fact, we are planning to take friends and attend as many of the other different tours as we can.

Great Fun and very informative. Wayne is a native of Albuquerque and learned a great deal more about Old Town.

Thanks for a great tour! We have invited Blake to perform a magic show at Illusions Magic Parlor which is the live show venue at the magic shop.

Best Wishes for continued success.

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts

I attended the "Outlaws Tour" of Old Town led by Milton Yarberry two weeks ago and I found it to be very informative, fascinating, and fun. The man who played Milton was extremely entertaining and I learned a lot about Old Town history that I'd never before heard or seen, despite having lived here 56 years! I'd recommend it to everyone as a great way to spend an evening and learn about some local colorful history!

Thanks,

Steve G., Albuquerque

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts

I recently took the Milt Yarberry tour and just wanted to let you all know how thoroughly I enjoyed it. I'm from Albuquerque and thought I knew all about the area, but the tour provides lots of fascinating historical info & anecdotes. I also found the magic routines that punctuate the tour highly entertaining, and that Yarberry character is a stroke of genius!

Thanks,

JH, Albuquerque
