The John F. Kennedy Memorial was the first memorial by famed American architect and Kennedy family friend Philip Johnson, and was approved by Jacqueline Kennedy. Johnson called it "a place of quiet refuge, an enclosed place of thought and contemplation separated from the city around, but near the sky and earth." Dallas raised $200, 000 for the memorial by August 1964, entirely from 50, 000 individual donations contributed by private citizens.

My husband and I came on a spontaneous trip from Nebraska to Dallas. We were looking for something to do and found this walking tour. Little did I know, that Kevin would blow our minds!!! We were hanging on his every word. Then we met Pat who also blew our minds. Kevin was extremely educated, friendly, and entertaining. People of all ages would really enjoy this tour. Went the beginning of November in the morning. My husband and I were warm the entire time. You even end up in the art district and have a free ride back to downtown. 12/10 recommended a tour with kevin!My favorite part of the tour was just to see Dealey Plaza live and in person. It's so different than what you see on TV and on film. Our tour guide did an excellent job. He was quite knowledgeable and kept me thoroughly locked in on each part of the tour.

Kevin did an amazing job on this tour. He created a compelling narrative using facts, not fiction. He allowed me to form my own opinion on this tragic part of American history. He was friendly, professional and answered my questions with knowledge. I highly recommend this tour and Kevin as your tour guide!Our tour guide, Kevin, was amazing! He knew so many details on JFK and the assassination, but also about Lee Harvey Oswald. He set the scene very well, and by the end of the tour, it felt like you were almost there that day.
