The little Texas town of Kemp is located about an hour west of Fort Worth, where it is home to the Kemp Calaboose, one of America’s weird and wacky roadside attractions. A calaboose happens to be an isolated, one-cell jail and this one would not be worth a second glance were it not for the fact that Bonny Parker, of Bonnie and Clyde fame, is reputed to have once spent a night locked up in this little brick building. The brick jail is quite unremarkable, but worth stopping to photograph if you happen to find yourself driving along US-175 in the vicinity of Kemp.
Kemp Calaboose, 11th Street, Kemp, TX 75143
