On this 60-minute tour you will walk the path that President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade took as it rendezvoused with history Nov. 22, 1963.
See the Texas Book Depository and hear the tale of Lee Harvey Oswald’s plot to kill the leader of the free world. You’ll stand on the Grassy Knoll and judge for yourself if Oswald was the sole perpetrator or if there was a second shooter part of a mass conspiracy. Hear about the events of that day, including JFK’s arrival in Dallas and the personal home video that unexpectedly achieved international fame.
Your guide will also share stories told less often, such as Oswald’s previous assassination attempt and how the Kennedy family dealt with the aftermath of the event.
