The John F. Kennedy Museum, located in the former Dal-Tex building, was open from 1970 to 1982. Owners John and Estelle Sissom of Dallas created what was briefly one of the city's leading tourist attractions. The centerpiece of the display was a multimedia presentation entitled "The Incredible Hours." In this presentation, a series of lights would follow the path of the Kennedy motorcade through a detailed model of Dealey Plaza and downtown Dallas. "The Incredible Hours" also utilized narration, music, and slide projectors. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
