DALLAS CITY TOUR & THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM
Tour duration - 6 Hours
Where were you when President John F. Kennedy was shot? Return to that exact moment and examine the historical events at the actual locations where the "Crime of `the Century" was committed. This presentation takes the form of an investigation focusing on President Kennedy, alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby, all whose lives tragically converged in Dallas and forever changed the course of history.
The search for clues begins with a detailed walking tour through Dealey Plaza, revealing precise locations of key witnesses. You will stand on the infamous "Grassy Knoll" where Dallas resident Abraham Zapruder filmed his much-studied 8mm home movie of the president's fateful motorcade. This area remains the focal point of ever major investigation into the assassination.
Much of academy-award winning director Oliver Stone's motion picture, "JFK," was filmed in Dealey Plaza and the old Texas School Book Depository Building. It is there we turn next for a visit to the "Sixth Floor Exhibit", housed in the former Texas School Book Depository.The Kennedy family, presidency and legacy are chronicled throughout the museum in photographs, audio-visual displays and short films. Two important "crime scene" areas (the snipers window and the Oswald rifle discovery location) have been preserved within the museum as discovered by law enforcement officials.
Lee Harvey Oswald will be examined in detail - especially his movements immediately after the shooting in Dealey Plaza. Dallas nightclub owner, Jack Ruby, will also be profiled. This mystery man, who may have silenced forever the truth concerning the assassination, is examined as he moves from his Carousel Club to the basement of the Dallas Police Station - finally shooting Oswald in front of a national television audience.
Enjoy lunch on your own in the West End.
After the Audio Tour of the Sixth Floor guests will enjoy a tour of the City of Dallas including the Arts District, Fountain Place and Fair Park.
