Die Rasenfläche, Mann!
Hallo und willkommen in Dallas – einer Stadt voller Kultur, Geschichte… und einem Moment, der die Welt für immer veränderte.

Ihr steht jetzt am Grassy Knoll, einem der berüchtigtsten Orte der amerikanischen Geschichte. Am 22. November 1963 wurde Präsident John F. Kennedy hier auf der Dealey Plaza ermordet, als seine Autokolonne durch die Innenstadt von Dallas fuhr.

Obwohl Lee Harvey Oswald offiziell als Einzeltäter genannt wurde, glauben viele, dass ein zweiter Schütze genau von hier aus gefeuert hat – vom Grassy Knoll – was jahrzehntelange Rätsel, Debatten und Verschwörungstheorien auslöste.

Dieses eine tragische Ereignis warf einen langen Schatten auf Dallas und verband den Namen der Stadt für immer mit diesem dunklen Tag. Aber im Laufe der Jahre hat sich die Stadt gewandelt – ihre Geschichte angenommen, sich mit der Vergangenheit auseinandergesetzt und sich zu einem pulsierenden kulturellen Zentrum entwickelt.

Lasst uns zu Beginn unserer Tour einen Moment innehalten und über diesen Ort nachdenken – wo Geschichte, Legende und Erinnerung aufeinandertreffen.

So, genug gegrübelt, lasst uns Dallas erkunden! Geht die Elm Street hoch, zum ersten Gebäude auf der linken Seite, dem Dallas County Public Works Building. Wir sehen uns da!

Distance: 0.03mi , Attraction : Ab ins Museum!

POI 4 Tour Image
Sechstes Stock Museum, voll krass!
O.K. Super!
Ihr habt mich gefunden.
In diesem Gebäude befindet sich das Sixth Floor Museum, im ehemaligen Texas School Book Depository.

Dieses Museum zeigt Leben, Tod und Vermächtnis von Präsident John F. Kennedy, besonders die Ereignisse rund um seine Ermordung am Dealey Plaza, nicht weit von hier.

Das Museum selbst schauen wir uns heute nicht an, aber ihr könnt gern später Tickets auf der Website kaufen und die Ausstellungen erkunden. Dort gibt's Fotos, Dokumente und Artefakte, die dieses tragische Ereignis der amerikanischen Geschichte beleuchten. Wer die Ereignisse vom 22. November 1963 verstehen will, findet hier eine informative und anregende Erfahrung.

Wissenswert: Das Eckfenster, von dem Lee Harvey Oswald angeblich die Schüsse abgab, ist erhalten und im Museum markiert.

So, genug davon.
Ich will euch jetzt eine kleine, aber feine Hütte zeigen.

Mit dem Rücken zum Museum überqueren wir vorsichtig den Bürgersteig auf die andere Seite der Elm Street. Dann links ab und die N Houston Street überqueren, und weiter geradeaus auf der Elm Street.
