Description

Explore the history of JFK's assassination on a guided tour of Dallas. Walk through Dealey Plaza, visit the Oswald Rooming House Museum, and enjoy entry to the Sixth Floor Museum.
Begin your tour at the Dallas Municipal Building, where Lee Harvey Oswald was shot and killed by a local nightclub owner in the garage of the Dallas Police station. Learn about the Warren Commission's conclusion that Oswald acted alone and the controversy surrounding this case.

Next, pass through the Main Street District and compare what Dallas looked like on November 22, 1963, as you travel the exact parade route JFK was on. Hear about why JFK was in Dallas, whether the parade route was changed at the last second, and if the FBI was aware of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Continue to Dealey Plaza, the location where President Kennedy was shot and killed by an assassin's bullet. Learn about the number of shots fired, where JFK was hit, and if anyone witnessed someone fire a rifle.

Head to the Grassy Knoll, considered by many to be the location of a second gunman. Learn about the Zapruder film, the possibility of a second gunman, and if the autopsy was faked.

Next, step into the bedroom of the man charged with killing the president, kept just as it was in 1963. Look for clues that may aid in the investigation, follow his footsteps, and get a glimpse into the short, complicated life of America’s most notorious alleged murderers.

Continue to the J.D. Tippit Memorial, the exact location where Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit was shot dead in the streets, about 45 minutes after the shooting of the President. Learn about the witnesses to Tippit's murder and if Lee Harvey Oswald had a body double.

Finally, pass by the Texas Theatre, where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested. Learn about how police knew Oswald was in the theatre, what he said when police approached him, and who Alek James Hidell is.
