JFK Historical Corridor

A 1902 industrial building directly across Elm Street from the Book Depository — and the subject of persistent alternative theories about the assassination.

The civic gateway to Dallas that became the most scrutinized patch of ground in American history on November 22, 1963.

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

Santiago Calatrava's 400-foot arch crossing the Trinity River — the most expensive single infrastructure project in Dallas history when it opened in 2012.

A memorial to Patrick Jennings, Sam, and Cato — three enslaved men lynched here in 1860 after a fire that destroyed most of downtown Dallas.

The 1892 Romanesque Revival courthouse built from Pecos River sandstone — nearly demolished in the 1970s, now a museum of Dallas history.

The seven-story warehouse where Lee Harvey Oswald fired from the sixth floor — now home to the Sixth Floor Museum.

The wooden fence at the top of the slope where dozens of witnesses reported seeing or hearing something — and where the questions have never fully stopped.

Where Elm, Main, and Commerce converge beneath a 1936 New Deal railroad bridge — the destination the motorcade never reached.

The white X painted on Elm Street marks the approximate location of the fatal shot — and above it, the spot where Abraham Zapruder filmed the most analyzed home movie in history.
