Dealey Plaza

On November 22nd, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was fatally shot while his Presidential motorcade traveled through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. The X on the street marks the approximate position of Kennedy in the limousine when he was shot. Nearby, the Six Floor Museum details the timeline and facts around the tragic event, as well as the life of the President.

From what is called the “sniper’s nest” located on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, it is believed that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the fatal bullet. The window can be found in the corner of the building and is the only one open.
