The Depository Museum and Dealey Plaza grounds are an important part of American history. Standing near the sixth floor window that Oswald used as his sniper nest, walking down by the grassy knoll where Zapruder took his now famous film, or even on the X that marks the spot on Elm Street where the shots struck Kennedy was an amazing experience. 

We paid to park in the large parking lot behind the School Book Depository building and entered a newly-renovated entrance on the south-west corner. We paid our admission and were given headsets which provided information at each stop along the museum exhibit which included pictures, videos and artifacts. The exhibit took us from John F. Kennedy's election as president, a view of the motorcade route and the assassination, through the post assassination morning and following investigation, Lee Harvey Oswald's murder, the loading of JFK's coffin onto Air Force One, the swearing in of Johnson, etc. 

One interesting display was a collection of the cameras used on the day by various witnesses in Dealey Plaza that took photographs or film footage of the event. This list includes Zapruder, Nix, Moorman, Willis, Bronson, Hughes, and Altgens, along with displays of the images they took.

The Museum was well done, but no photography was allowed on the sixth floor. We were able however, to take a few rushed shots of exhibits, views of the streets below, the south windows area and more importantly the south-east corner window, which is the alleged "sniper's perch" location. That sniper area is hidden behind stacks of boxes and is glassed-off. We also took many photos of the area below that would have been visible from that corner window.

The north-east exit from the sixth floor follows the route that Oswald would allegedly have taken after allegedly firing the shots. We passed through a book/souvenir store on our way to the street. Before exploring the Dealey Plaza area we walked past the Holocaust Museum to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
