Bonnie & Clyde Ambush Museum, Museum in Gibsland, Louisiana
This small museum occupies the building that once housed Ma Canfield's Cafe, where Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow stopped for their last meal before the ambush that ended their lives in 1934.
The museum sits on the very spot where the outlaws ate sandwiches moments before law enforcement ambushed them on a nearby road, bringing their crime spree across Depression-era America to a sudden and violent end.
The space preserves the legend of two young outlaws who became symbols of rebellion and romance during hard times, showing visitors how their story grew from real events into enduring American folklore that still fascinates people today.
The museum opens every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and sits on Main Street in Gibsland, making it an easy stop for travelers exploring Louisiana who want to learn about this dramatic chapter of history.
Inside you can see a replica of the bullet-riddled car, personal belongings like Clyde's shoes and Bonnie's manicure set, and even a plaster cast of Clyde's hand, bringing you close to the real people behind the legend.
