Helping to put the stigma on Dallas in perspective is the Sixth Floor Museum, located on the 6th floor of the former Texas School Book Depository. According to police, this is where Lee Harvey Oswald fired at the president’s motorcade.

Now it is a museum filled with exhibits which executive director Nicola Longford said is meant to objectively explain what happened.

“Part of the role of the Sixth Floor Museum is to create a neutral territory in the original space to help people understand what went on in 1963 and why this still has lasting impact today," Longford said.

The Sixth Floor Museum opened in 1989 and is now a top tourist destination in North Texas, attracting over 350,000 people a year.

“All generations, people from all over the world," she said. "And so we feel that we’re still trying to stay relevant and helping to put into context why this subject is so fascinating to so many people.”

Jim Tague was the only bystander in Dealey Plaza who was wounded in the shooting. He still believes there was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy.

“It’s a good history of Kennedy, but it doesn’t go into the assassination," Tague said.

"I find fault with that.”

Despite Tague's belief that Oswald did not act alone, Longford said the museum is a place where all aspects of the assassination are explored.

“Many of the conspiracies can be debunked very easily, but there are a lot of unanswered questions that will always make this fascinating for generations to come.”
