Al
Capone, America's most notorious gangster, built a gangland hideout in
Wisconsin's North woods near Couderay in the mid-1920s. Today,
40-minute tours of this estate take viewers through Capone's living
quarters in the impressive main lodge and around the ground's 9 additional
buildings including the gun tower, bunkhouse and jail cell, a
single-person cell which is surrounded by a small exercise yard. The
estate's 18-inch thick walls were built to withstand potential firepower
from rival gangs as well as the Feds. |
