The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is located on the sixth and seventh floors of an early 20th century warehouse known in 1963 as the Texas School Book Depository. Opened on Presidents Day 1989, the Museum has since welcomed over five million visitors from around the world, people of all ages seeking information and understanding about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Museum tours are self-guided.
This museum commemorates the Pres. Kennedy's administration as well as his assasination, and is as well-balanced as can be expected, given the palpable emotional overtones of both the event and the location. Exhibits include displays on NASA with considerable attention to the flight of John Glenn.
