Why go
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.
