George Jefferies Film

This home movie of the fateful Kennedy motorcade was taken November 22, 1963, by George Jefferies and donated to the Museum by his son-in-law, Wayne Graham. Mr. Jefferies filmed President and Mrs. Kennedy on Main Street at Lamar in downtown Dallas less than 90 seconds before the assassination. Secret Service Agent Clint Hill, assigned to protect Mrs. Kennedy, can be seen riding on the left rear bumper. On November 23, 1963, Mr. Jefferies filmed additional scenes in Dealey Plaza. The film is part of the exhibit, “Filming Kennedy: Home Movies from Dallas.” Click on the image to view the film.

To commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the original
dedication of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza,
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza has
overseen the comprehensive conservation and
restoration of the monument.

Now complete, the project to restore the
Kennedy Memorial brought the Museum together
with Dallas County, the City of Dallas, and a cadre
of community and industry leaders.

As steward of the adjacent Dealey Plaza National
Historic Landmark District, The Sixth Floor Museum
at Dealey Plaza will ensure the continuing
preservation of the Memorial.
