Route 66 - Bonnie & Clyde House

On April 1, 1933, Bonnie and Clyde Barrow, Buck and Blanche Barrow, along with William Jones rented this garage apartment at 3347 1/2 Oak Ridge Dr. in Joplin, Missouri. Less than 2 weeks later, Clyde noticed 2 police cars which pulled up in front of the house. A shootout ensued. Eventually, the gang was able to make it to their car in the garage and made their escape.
