The Sixth Floor Museum and Dealey Plaza

Every year, thousands of people visit Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas to pay tribute to President John F. Kennedy. It was on November 22, 1963, when Lee Harvey Oswald fired shots from his gun as President Kennedy’s motorcade made a turn from Houston Street onto Elm. This picturesque green area holds historical significance and serves as a place for remembrance and respect.

60 years ago, a tragic event took place in the United States that is forever remembered. It happened on the sixth floor of the former Texas School Book Depository when Oswald pulled the trigger. Today, you can visit the Sixth Floor Museum, which occupies not only the sixth but also the seventh floors of the building. Inside, you’ll find exhibits that provide insights into JFK’s life, presidency, and his assassination. Additionally, the museum showcases the history of the 1960s, giving visitors a broader understanding of that era.
