Known foriconichistoricmust-visitDowntown
Located in the former Texas School Book Depository, this is the definitive museum documenting the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and its aftermath. The exhibits are meticulously researched, emotionally powerful, and historically essential — standing at the sixth-floor window looking down at Dealey Plaza is a genuinely affecting experience. It draws international visitors constantly, so arrive early or book timed tickets online. The audio guide is highly recommended.
