Known forhistoryJFKmuseumlandmark
Housed in the former Texas School Book Depository, this museum documents the life, assassination, and legacy of President John F. Kennedy with meticulous historical detail. The view from the sixth floor window looking down Elm Street is genuinely sobering and unforgettable. It's one of the most emotionally resonant museums in the country — expect lines on weekends and allow at least two hours.
