Can't go to Dallas without seeing the Texas Schoolbook Depository if you are 35 and older. Very interesting and well done. You can tour by yourself. You can purchase headphones that can be plugged into displays for further details. Coupons are available on the web for discount tickets. CONS: No photos allowed inside the building. Well worth a look. more

The museum is located in the old School Book Depository building. It's very well done--very authentic--well worth visiting. For other postings, check the Sixth Floor Museum postings. more
