The marker says, "In 1931 Emmett Breen built Red Crown Tavern and Tourist Cabins west of here. On July 19, 1933 Platte County Sheriff Hold Coffey led a coalition of lawmen from the Platte County Sheriff's Office, Missouri Highway Patrol and the Jackson County Sheriff's Office in an attempt to capture fugitives Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie Parker, Clyde Barrow, Buck Barrow, Blanch Barrow and W. D. Jones has rented the two cabins. Thirteen lawmen surrounded them but the gang shot their way out and escaped. Buck Barrow was mortally wounded and Blanche's eyes were injured. Sheriff Corey and two locals were also wounded. In Tribute to the Lawmen."
