Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza was dedicated June 24, 1970. In the years since, it has become an integral part of the city’s urban landscape and cultural heritage.

Stop 2

Dealey Plaza is a city park in the West End. It is sometimes called the "birthplace of Dallas". It also was the location of the assassination of President Kennedy, on November 22, 1963

Stop 3

The assassination, assumed to be by Lee Harvey Oswald, is one of the most discussed and speculated unsolved mysteries of our time will take you to the world of conspiracy, where you may look out over Dealey Plaza (JFK Assassination), Grassy Knoll, and the Kennedy Memorial.

This is the rooming house Lee Harvey Oswald was staying at during the time of the assassination of President Kennedy.

Oswald was arrested here while calmly watching a movie.

Stop 6

John F. Kennedy and the Memory of a Nation – the core exhibit on the sixth floor – is a self-guided experience. Using the audio guide included with admission, it takes about 90 minutes to go through the exhibit if you listen to everything.
