For older Americans the assassination of JFK was a pivotal moment in US history and for those over 60 years old a very influential event (do you remember where you were when JFK was shot?). This...
My wife and I were in Dallas just pre COVID and we visited the 6th Floor Museum after a JFK tour, the exhibits videos etc are very well laid out and informative and the staff are very helpful.
Took the tour here of the shooting of Kennedy and the grassy knoll experience. More to see here than you might first think.
