Historic Dealey Plaza
These views of Dealey Plaza from the "Old Red" courthouse include Elm and Houston streets, the former Texas School Book Depository, the so-called "Grassy Knoll," and the Triple Underpass, but Dealey Plaza is much more than the site of the JFK assassination.

Welcome to Historic Dealey Plaza. Here, without the need to leave the comfort of your home or office, you can visit several of this National Historic Landmark's points of interest, seeing what they look like and learning a little about them at the same time.

If you live in the Dallas area or plan to visit, you may have a chance to see Dealey Plaza for yourself someday. No matter how good a photograph might be, nothing beats an actual visit, allowing you to contemplate the significance of this historic site in "real time."
