John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial
Description
Dallas chose to honor the memory of storybook President Kennedy by erecting this monument. This 30-foot-high, 50-foot-square monument was erected in 1970. The open-air structure in the historic West End, resembles an ancient tomb. It is the first memorial by famed American architect and Kennedy family friend, Philip Johnson. The monument, built with the help of private donations from the citizens of Dallas, is open 24 hours daily and is lighted at night.
This is certainly one of the most unique memorial I've seen. Good for a quick stopover to pay homage to JFK, the US President famously assasinated in this city.
Cool to see where Oswald took the shots as well as all of the science behind the assasination present at the museum.
I am a big fan of JFK so I rate this one 5 stars.
