The full story
Dealey Plaza preserves the outdoor street setting associated with President Kennedy’s assassination. Its road layout and grassy knoll can be understood on foot, apart from the nearby museum.
The significance of Dealey Plaza lies in its ordinary-looking streets and open ground. Walking the plaza helps place the roadway, grassy knoll and surrounding buildings in relation to one another, turning a familiar historical image into a real cityscape. The visit rewards attention to the setting itself; the Sixth Floor Museum offers a different, exhibit-led account of the events.
- Historic street layout at Dealey Plaza
