The museum opened in 1989 and chronicles the assassination and its aftermath, as well as the life and legacy of President Kennedy.

Highlights of the museum include the FBI model used by the Warren Commission, the Sniper’s Perch, and an exhibit called “Photographs and Evidence,” which has photos from the Dallas Times Herald collection taken on that poignant day.

The museum also features an exhibit space of films, photographs, and interactive displays that offers a unique angle of the JFK story. The audio guide, included with the entrance fee, makes a visit to the museum an immersive experience.
