Bonnie and Clyde Death Site During our road trip we thought it would be fun to see this monument. When you exit I-20 and head south, you pass thru a very small town where Bonnie and Clyde ate their last meal (which is now the museum). You will then make a right on a small street and head west a few miles. It seems like forever. The monument sits on the north side of the street and you can drive right up to it. If you are into gangster/mob Americana then it's well worth it. While driving on the small street I thought to myself "What are we doing this for?" But after you get there, and take a picture or two, you now have a great conversation topic that most people are interested in because of the history and story of Bonnie and Clyde.

Bonnie & Clyde Monument This monument, in a very secluded area quite distant from any towns, identifies where the two famous outlaws were shot and in killed in an ambush by law officers, after a well-publicized career of mayhem and murder.
[Gerald D Massey, 07/04/2012]Keep driving about a mile and a half further than the map tells you to. The plaque will be on the right when heading south. Kinda cool to drive these back legendary roads!
[Riveras, 03/14/2010]We've adjusted the map point further south on Hwy 54.
Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Site This monument, which is located 8 miles south of Gibsland on Hwy. 154, marks the spot where Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed. There is also a Bonnie and Clyde Museum in Gibsland run by the son of one of the lawmen who ambushed Bonnie and Clyde in 1934.
