DOWNTOWN DALLAS. Dealey Plaza is one of the most notable locations in American history. It's known as the geographical birthplace of Dallas and was named for the founder of the Dallas "Morning News." This is also where, on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot by an assassin's bullet as the Presidential motorcade rounded the plaza. The site is now home to the Sixth Floor Museum, which provides a bird's eye view of what Lee Harvey Oswald saw the day of the assassination.
