John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza
About the Business
The John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza, located at 646 Main Street in Dallas, Texas, is a park and tourist attraction dedicated to the memory of President John F. Kennedy. Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson, the cenotaph symbolizes the freedom of President Kennedy's spirit. The memorial features 72 white pre-cast concrete columns, with eight columns acting as legs that seem to hold up the monument. At night, the lights create the illusion that the structure is supported by light itself. The plaza, dedicated in 1970, has become an integral part of the city's urban landscape and cultural heritage. It is located one block east of Dealey Plaza, where Senator Kennedy announced his candidacy for President of the United States. The plaza offers visitors a space for reflection and remembrance, and is also home to the Kent Barker Collection and The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, which explores the topic of the Kennedy assassination. The museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

"My most active (2nd degree) memory of a young influencer being laid off. He had so much more to accomplish."
"We went to visit on the 24th of November but it was very busy as it was the 60th anniversary. We decided to go back last night and it was amazing even though it was raining. We had a chance to read all the plaques and take our time without the distraction of others around us. I would definitely recommend it to anyone planning on visiting the area. It was about a 20ish minute drive from Fort Worth."
"It's worth the trip. If you want to do the book depository, buy tickets ahead of time. They are time slotted & number limited."
"When in Dallas, I would recommend seeing this place/area. It's a lot to take in, but it's worth the time to stop and reflect. A president was killed in Dallas, JFK, and the location has been memorialized with markers and a garden. The location of the shooter's can be seen from the street. I would recommend going to see the floor and room where he was. We arrived late and didn't get a chance to see that."
"Free attraction. There was a man sleeping on the slab when I was initially there so I had to go back for my picture later. It was peaceful, everyone was quietly taking their photos."
