Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, United States, is famous as the location of the John F. Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963. Dealey Plaza is bounded on the south, east, and north sides by 100'+ tall buildings. One of those buildings is the Texas School Book Depository building, from where the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, fired a rifle that killed the president. There is also a grassy knoll, from where the House Select Committee on Assassinations controversially concluded that a second gunman also fired at (but missed) President Kennedy.
Today the plaza is typically filled with tourists visiting the assassination site and the Sixth Floor Museum that now occupies the top two floors of the seven storey School Book Depository. Since 1989, some 4-million-plus people have visited Dealey Plaza.
