About this tour
Experience the history that brings visitors to Dallas. Explore the places and stories surrounding President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, including JFK Memorial Plaza, Dealey Plaza, the Grassy Knoll, X’s on Elm Street and the former Texas School Book Depository. Look toward the sixth-floor window associated with the official investigation as your guide puts November 22, 1963, into context, sharing what is known, what the official investigation concluded, and the conspiracy theories and questions that remain.
Continue through the West End Historic District, with 8 custom Food Tours of America tastings at 3 restaurants—plenty for a meal, featuring Latin and Indian favorites and distinctly Texas bison and venison. Step inside Wild Bill’s Western Wear, housed in a historic former drugstore, see its original late-1800s bar, and discover where a scene from Taylor Sheridan’s Dutton Ranch was filmed—all while enjoying an included beer.
