DEALEY PLAZA |
|||
For most people who remember November 22, 1963, visiting this place is a one of a kind experience. The Sixth Floor Museum is very well done. It covers all aspects of the assassination, including the controversies. When you see the sniper's perch and see the long distance to the target, and read what an inaccurate rifle was alleged to have been the fatal gun, it becomes very easy to understand why so many people believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone. | |||

Thousands visited the assassination site during the week of November 22, 2003, for the 40th JFK Assassination Anniversary, with thousands at Dealey Plaza at 12:30 pm on the 22nd. |

You go through security as stringent as boarding an airplane. It seems the entry fee might be a bit less, though, particularly for seniors, if only so that children bringing their elderly parents aren't subjected to complaints about it being so expensive to see something that they remember because they saw it all on television... |

A plaque on the Book Depository Building, at ground level, facing Elm Street, the road upon which the limousine was traveling when the fatal bullets were fired. The plaque tells the history of the building, pre-assassination to post-assassination. | |||
The square window on the lower right from which the fatal bullets were alleged to have been fired. By the Warren Commission. | |||
At Dealey Plaza there are always tourists, every day, anytime of the day. And there are always conspiracy buffs selling paraphernalia and pointing out the key locations. The buff here is pointing to the Sixth Floor Window. |
