Having studied the Kennedy assassination in detail over the years it was fascinating to actually visit the site and Sixth Floor Museum. One striking fact was that it was much smaller than photos and videos seem to indicate. The fatal third shot by Oswald, who acted alone without question, was a straight away shot of less than a hundred yards. With his four power scope it would seem like 70 feet or so and slightly down and straight ahead. No one would pick a loser like Oswald to be any part of a conspiracy. He couldn't succeed at anything until he killed Kennedy.

I wanted to see the area where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. I would advise visitors to just be careful because there were vehicles on these surrounding streets. There were many fountains, statues, and displays throughout this area. The only thing that I did not like was the large presence of homeless people.

Probably the most famous tourist attraction in Dallas. Immaculately preserved from the days of the Kennedy assassination. Apart from the Kennedy association, it provides a great view of Dallas especially if you go onto the Grassy Knoll and walk across the triple underpass. There is a footpath which provides access. A great spot for pictures and to reflect on the history of the place. Dealey plaza was famous before 1963 as being the spot where Dallas was founded.

This is a must stop if you are visiting Dallas. There is not much to see but just standing there where JFK was assassinated hits big. The plaza is clean and easy to get to. The brown picket fence is an exact replica of the original.

Dealey Plaza National Historic Landmark District in Dallas is a place steeped in history, most famously known as the site of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963. Visiting the plaza feels like stepping into a moment frozen in time, with its well-preserved buildings and familiar landmarks like the grassy knoll and the Texas School Book Depository. The Sixth Floor Museum offers a detailed exploration of the events leading up to that tragic day, making it both educational and emotional. While the area carries a somber tone, it’s a must-visit for history buffs and those looking to reflect on a pivotal moment in American history.
