The Sixth Floor Museum

Introduction

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas, is a history museum centered on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Located on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository — the sniper's perch — it is one of Dallas's most important historical sites, offering detailed historical narrative, rare footage, artifacts and a profound look at the event that changed American history. Exhibits follow a timeline: Kennedy's political career, the Dallas trip, the assassination, investigation and aftermath, through photos, film, documents and multimedia. The sixth-floor corner window is recreated as the sniper's position, with views of Dealey Plaza — the motorcade route — and the "X" marks on the street. The surrounding Dealey Plaza and Grassy Knoll are free to visit. Visiting the Sixth Floor Museum and reflecting on one of America's most shocking moments is a profound Dallas experience.
