On November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy was riding in a motorcade through downtown Dallas, Texas. He was accompanied by his wife, Jacqueline, and Governor John Connally of Texas and his wife, Nellie. The motorcade was on its way to the Dallas Trade Mart where Kennedy was to give a speech. As the motorcade approached the Texas School Book Depository shots rang out. Kennedy and Connally were both injured. President Kennedy eventually died as a result of his injuries. Eighty minutes later, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination of the President.

The Texas School Book Depository Building

The Texas School Book Depository was housed inside an early twentieth century warehouse.The exterior of the building looks much the same as it did in 1963. The interior of the building was renovated into offices in 1970, with the infamous top two floors remaining empty. In 1989 in response to the number of visitors to the assassination site, the sixth floor was turned into a museum about the assassination.

The Sixth Floor Museum

As a visitor to the museum the ticket booth is the first stop. Visitors pay $13.50 for adults and $12.50 for senior citizens or students. An audio guide is included with the admission price. The guides are available in seven languages with a youth version available in English. An elevator is then taken up to the sixth floor.

Upon reaching the sixth floor, the visitor is told to push play on his audio guide. The audio guide provides commentary on the pictures and artifacts displayed throughout the site. The visitor can listen straight through pushing continue when prompted or entering a number to get more information about specific items throughout the site.

The sixth floor is divided into areas beginning in the early 1960's, continuing through the assassination and ending with the legacy of the event and subsequent investigations. Each area includes pictures and videos from the era.

The Sniper's Nest Area of the Museum

The most compelling area of the museum is the area called the Sniper's Nest. This is the location from which Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly assassinated President Kennedy. The nest area looks exactly like it did in 1963 right down to the shell casings laying on the floor. The nest was an area of boxes that Oswald had set up so he would be hidden from anyone coming up to the sixth floor. It was looking out a window onto Dealey Plaza, where Kennedy was shot. Oswald allegedly set up boxes to rest the gun on so he could easily shoot the President.
