    Two actors, one portraying tunnel mastermind Clarence Klinedinst and one portraying bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton, give their conflicting accounts of who designed the 1945 tunnel, how it was built, and why the escapees got caught. Visitors can meet each inmate and see how their accounts vary. Based on actual conflicts in the accounts of Willie Sutton and Clarence Klinedinst. Other activities focus on escapes from Eastern State including a section of tunnel to give visitors a sense of the 1945 escape by Willie Sutton and other prisoners. Plus, there will be family events all day!
