Not really what we expected. They have a ton of pictures, news papers, and other written items to tell the story of Bonnie & Clyde and their gang in timeline form. But they themselves do not really have any real memorabilia to speak of. All the stuff they have looks like things he got from garage sales or ebay. They do have a few things here and there but it's hard to tell what is genuine and what's not if you get what I mean. The car that's there from what we could figure is one of the actual "Death Cars" from the movies which is super cool.
The whole place was dirty and dingy. Lighting wasn't the best, he made it work though. The chairs set up to watch the video he has playing weren't in the best of shape. There was an unknown red substance splattered on a couple of the displays, it could be there for theatrics but the two displays were pretty far apart and neither was about a death so you judge for yourself. To top it off the dinner to the right of where you walk in had what could only be described as mummified cat vomit on the sports card display case. I mean someone lit two stick incense behind the display like a foot away. Did you not see the nasty pile of cat vomit?? Must not have been their job to clean it up.
All in all it was interesting reading some of the news papers and other items. I personally won't be telling my friends...
Read moreIt was truly remarkable to see the vast array of items, pictures, clippings from newspapers, and other publications meticulously displayed in his museum. Visitors who travel to the museum frequently donate items or articles to Perry, which he incorporates into his exhibits. The museum is extremely entertaining, boasting knowledgeable articles and facts about Bonnie and Clyde. Perry, the owner, possesses in-depth knowledge about all the articles and items on display in his museum. One could easily spend an entire day conversing with him. Adjacent to the museum is an exceptional café, where Stacy, his fiancé, serves classic fare, including traditional hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, Po-Boys, and even the bologna sandwich Clyde ordered for his road trip, as well as Bonnie's BLT and lunch specials, notably her renowned red beans and rice. The atmosphere and cuisine evoke a bygone era. I highly recommend planning a visit to the museum and meeting Perry and Stacy, who are exceedingly kind and knowledgeable individuals. Be sure to allocate approximately two hours to thoroughly explore the artifacts and enjoy lunch at Stacy's Café. Please extend my...
Read moreA very interesting place to visit. Upon walking in, we were hit with a strong smell of musty. We were nicely greeted and were pointed to the direction of the museum door. The door stated paying customers only. Upon walking in, lots of paper clippings, magazines, and a documentary on loop. Pictures were cool in the beginning, but you started seeing the same pictures in different sizes or colors. Most items weren't of anything from B&C they were just of that era. Car was a movie prop. Mannequins were a bit freaky. Some things were cool to see once, but it was repetative throughout. We heard the door open, so we thought oh someone else is coming to see. Nope, a guy walked up to my husband trying to sell a coin to get money to eat. After we turned him a way, he walked directly out. (Paying customers only??) Little odd. So my husband had to walk out to check our belongings on our bike. Restaurant where B&C had their last meal is attached. No air throughout. Just fans. He came back in, we bought a sticker and left. A different experience. Would say if you're in the area, stop. But wouldn't make it a destination spot...
