Museum of the American Gangster

A former speakeasy now houses a small collection of vintage gangsterabilia -- including shell casings from Bonnie and Clyde's final shootout and one of the bullets that killed Pretty Boy Floyd -- and provides tours of its mysterious basement.

Museum of the American Gangster

The tour was excellent. Interesting and rich with details of national and local gangsters. The tour of the former speakeasy space and basement is definitely a highlight. You get a sense that you are a part of the living history.
