Wyatt Earp Birthplace

Wyatt Earp Birthplace Inc. is a historical landmark located in Monmouth, Illinois, known as the birth home of notable figure Wyatt Earp. The site is owned by Bob and Melba Matson, who dedicated over thirty years to preserving the property's rich history and showcasing its collection of antiques and period furniture.

The birthplace has been recognized for its significance, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and receiving numerous awards for its preservation. However, the Matsons have faced significant challenges due to ongoing disputes with a previous tenant, including property damage and disputes over ownership claims, which have threatened the integrity of the museum and the legacy of their efforts.
