JFK Historical Corridor

The brick building across Houston with the very same line of fire as the Depository — and the man police pulled from it and quietly let go.

Stand where it happened: from this one spot the knoll, the Depository window, the X, Old Red, and the underpass — the whole assassination, the mysteries, and why to go up to the Sixth Floor Museum.

Philip Johnson's open cenotaph — a room without a roof, built to honor a man who never came home to this city.

A composite reconstruction honoring Dallas's 1841 founding — the origin point of everything you see around you.

A small park by the Trinity marking one of Dallas's darkest hours — the 1860 fire, the false panic, and the three men lynched here — now answered by the 2024 'Shadow Lines' memorial.

The 1892 'Old Red' courthouse — sixth on a block of burned-down predecessors, the corner JFK's motorcade turned, a courthouse again today, its museum reborn free as Legacy Dallas at 500 Elm.

The warehouse that fixed Dallas in history — Oswald, the sixth-floor sniper's nest, and the Sixth Floor Museum that now keeps the whole story.

Texas's oldest business, the home of a fearless newspaper, and the man Dealey Plaza is named for.

The most argued-over patch of grass in America — the front-shot witnesses, the man with the badge, and a wide-open sightline to the street.

The 1936 railroad bridge where three streets funnel out of the plaza — and where a handful of railroad workers got a front-row view of the assassination.

An unofficial white X in a live traffic lane marks the fatal shot — scraped off and always repainted by strangers: maybe the most honest memorial in Dallas.
