Grassy Knoll

Small green space marking the spot where John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in 1963. The grassy knoll is a small, sloping hill inside the plaza that became well known following the assasination of United States President John F. Kennedy. The knoll was above Kennedy and to his right (west and north) during the assassination on November 22, 1963.

This north grassy knoll is adjacent by the former Texas School Book Depository building along the Elm Street abutment side street to the northeast, Elm Street, and a sidewalk to the south, a parking lot to the north and east and a railroad bridge atop the triple underpass convergence of Commerce, Main and Elm streets to the west.
