The Texas Book Depository




During our trip to Dallas for Mickey & Lauren's wedding we did a little sightseeing in
downtown Dallas. Here we visited the famous place where Lee Harvey Oswald fired the
shots that assassinated John Kennedy. They've made this place into a mini-museum very
nicely. Here, you can not only see the spots but also revisit JFK's rise to political power and
learn about his presidential agenda and his famous visit to Dallas on November 22, 1963. For some of us, it's a day that we will remember as vividly as September 11, 2001. Photos: museum entrance, poster of Jack Kennedy, the famous grassy knoll, photo of the sixth floor of the book depository (now the museum).
