Welcome to Dealey Plaza

This is Dealey Plaza, known as The Front Door of Dallas since its dedication in 1936 but remembered today as the assassination site of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Dealey Plaza was the end of the presidential motorcade prior to Stemmons Freeway and the Dallas Trade Mart, the site of President Kennedys scheduled luncheon speech. Historic buildings are numbered on this map as well as markers which explain significant points of interest.

Historic Designation
Dealey Plaza was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1993. A plaque was installed at that time, aligned with the location of the fatal shot in the middle of Elm Street. Directly beyond the plaque and standing atop the white pedestal, Abraham Zapruder filmed the assassination with his home movie camera. Within hours after the assassination, a makeshift memorial was created, with letters and flowers added throughout the weekend.

Abraham Zapruder
Dallas dressmaker Abraham Zapruder stood on top of this pedestal (properly called a plinth) with his assistant, Lillian Rogers, standing behind to steady him. He was the only photographer known to have filmed the entire assassination and his images proved crucial to understanding what happened. Zapruder made copies of his film available to investigators within hours of the presidents death.

The Grassy Knoll

Journalist Merriman Smith, riding in the motorcade five cars behind President Kennedy, reported seeing Dallas Police run up this hill, which he called a grassy knoll. Some witnesses thought shots came from the knoll but police found no evidence of a gunman. The wooden stockade fence at the top, rebuilt several times since 1963, is a reproduction of the original fence.

The Triple Underpass

The triple underpass to your left, through which the presidential motorcade was to travel for a 1 p.m. luncheon speech at the Dallas Trade Mart north of downtown, is still railroad property. Railroad employees, cleared by a supervisor and watched by police, saw the assassination and resulting chaos. Dallas Police blocked all traffic in and out of Dealey Plaza before the motorcade arrived.
