Sixth Floor Museum
The Sixth Floor Museum is a true historical monument. Located on the sixth floor of the Dallas County Administration Building. The entire museum is dedicated to the life and assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In fact, the sixth floor of the building is the believed location from where Lee Harvey Oswald shot the president. The whole area has become a museum in which you can view photographs and film footage of the event.
