Alcatraz East Crime Museum, located in Pigeon Forge, adding exhibit to focus on the anniversary of the famous prison break

PIGEON FORGE, Tennessee (February 23, 2022) – Alcatraz East Crime Museum will open a temporary exhibit on March 3, 2022, that focuses on the anniversary of one of the most infamous prison escapes in American history. Titled “The Beginning of the End: John Dillinger’s Final Jail Break,” the exhibit will feature information and artifacts about the gangster’s final prison break. The exhibit will run for one year in the prison section of the museum.

“This is an escape story that captured the nation’s attention back in the 1930s and continues to do so,” says Ally Pennington, artifacts and programs manager for Alcatraz East. “We are thrilled to share what happened and show people some interesting artifacts from the story.”

John Dillinger is remembered as one of the most famous bank robbers in the country. Along with his gang, they killed 10 people, wounded seven others, and robbed a string of banks in just over a year. In addition, he is also widely known for his escaping authorities. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), he staged three jailbreaks, killing a sheriff during one of them.

On March 3, 1934, Dillinger used what turned out to be a gun that he carved out of wood to escape from jail for the final time. The Indiana jail was thought to be escape-proof, but he pulled it off, taking hostages with him. When he was in the clear and released the hostages, they told the FBI how he escaped and in what direction he went. A nationwide search led the FBI to him, where he was shot to death while escaping.

The temporary Dillinger exhibit at Alcatraz East Crime Museum includes the FBI’s wanted poster, escape “gun,” Crown Point prisoner’s record, and Dillinger’s famous death mask, which was created 12 hours after his death at the Cook County Morgue. “The Beginning of the End: John Dillinger’s Final Jail Break” exhibit will run through March 3, 2023. 

“The story of John Dillinger’s final escape is an interesting part of American crime history,” added Pennington. “We look forward to sharing this display and others with those who visit the museum. The prison break was 88 years ago, and yet so many are still intrigued by it.”
