JFK City Tour: Following the Steps of Lee Harvey Oswald
March 31, 2007
John F. Kennedy and Dallas are forever connected in history. The 1963 downtown motorcade route and Dealey Plaza came alive on national television. Where did Lee Harvey Oswald live and work? What course did he follow on that fateful day? Many theories of what happened will be examined and discussed--but some will puzzle the most intelligent. Listen to a historic radio interview with Lee Harvey Oswald on a New Orleans radio station. Follow Lee Harvey Oswald's footsteps through downtown and his taxi ride to his Oak Cliff boarding house. On to the intersection in Oak Cliff where Oswald gunned down Dallas Officer J. D. Tippit--listen to the police recordings and see the Texas Theatre where Oswald was captured. Sometimes we get to visit the basement where Jack Ruby killed Oswald while handcuffed to a Dallas police officer. The grave, Oswald's final resting place, next to "NICK BEEF" is the final mystery. As in all of the Dallas Historical Society tours members will enjoy the day and learn from other people who join with us and have lunch at El Fenix--historic in its own way.
The tour departs from and returns to the Hall of State in Fair Park.
