Dealey Plaza and Sixth Floor Museum - tour

  Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor Museum is the site of John F. Kennedy's brutal assassination back in 1963 and looks exactly the same now as it did many years ago. On December 22, 1963, at 12-29, President John F. Kennedy's motorcade was on its way to Dealey Plaza, the presidential and American flags flying over the car ahead, Mrs. Kennedy smiling and waving to the crowd, when a short shot echoed through the square at exactly 12-30. The motorcade drove away, carrying the mortally wounded President, and half an hour later his death was announced.
  It is on this square today is a museum where you will learn everything about the life, death and reign of the legendary US president John F. Kennedy. This museum is located on the sixth floor. Visitors have access to permanent exhibitions, viewings of films about the life of President Kennedy, and numerous photographs from the life of the President. Temporary exhibitions are held on the seventh floor, and there are comfortable reading rooms available to visitors.
  The red brick building, built in 1901 on a corner of two streets, was known as the Texas School Book Depository at the time of President Kennedy's assassination. After the assassination, the building became the center of attention, a focus of pain, shock and outrage. Evidence confirmed that the murder was committed from the sixth floor of the building and the depository employee, Lee Oswald, became the sole suspect in the murder. The school vault was then moved to another location and this building was left as a sad reminder of what happened in 1963. In 1977 the building was purchased by the state for offices, but the last two floors, including the infamous sixth floor, remained empty. On President's Day in 1989, the doors of the museum, located on the sixth floor, were open to the many visitors who wanted to learn more about the Kennedy assassination. In 2002, the seventh floor was also opened.
