Clyde of the Barrow Gang rests in a quiet cemetery alongside his brother Marvin “Buck” Barrow in their family plot. Marvin was killed in a shootout with Missouri police in 1933. Bonnie Parker is buried in Dallas at Crown Hill Memorial Park. Often visited, you’ll find mementos left behind on the marker. If you like history, it’s a can’t miss. 

Know Before You Go

The grave is in a gated cemetery that is marked no trespassing. Many have contacted the caretakers and are usually given permission. The large gates are typically locked, but a stairway on the left is always open. A well-worn path will lead you to where the Barrow family plot is located. Clyde and Buck share a marker having been killed within weeks of each other. Many leave items and mementos behind, please respect the graves.
