Where America's favorite outlaw lovebirds were riddled with dozens of bullets by hidden lawmen. The old stone marker was also riddled, so a new, more vandal-proof marker was added in 2014 that shifted emphasis to the posse over the lawbreakers. It was stolen in 2023.

Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Site
Our GPS steered us wrong, so look at your odometer when trying to find the markers where Bonnie and Clyde were shot in an ambush (They're about eight miles south of the Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Museum). There is an older, shot up, tombstone-looking stone marker, and a newer podium-style marker with the story of the ambush.
