Historic Treasure
Our Take
Dealey Plaza is full of important history: It’s the birthplace of Dallas and the site of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. When you visit, you’ll notice two Xs in the road. These mark where Kennedy was hit by bullets fired by Lee Harvey Oswald from the Texas School Book Depository, which now houses the Sixth Floor Museum. Dealey Plaza is best experienced alongside a visit to this institution, which chronicles the life and death of JFK. The Dallas City Pass includes admission to the Sixth Floor Museum among other sites. It’s worth it, and if you do go for the Pass, you’ll definitely be in the area of Dealey Plaza anyways. And no visit to the Plaza is complete without a stop at the grassy knoll. Was there a second shooter? Decide for yourself!
