Watch a film in the cinema where Oswald was arrested
Still a working cinema, seven nights a week
A 1931 movie house in Oak Cliff with a curved vertical TEXAS sign, a 670-seat main auditorium, a smaller upstairs screen and a bar in the lobby.
Why it's unique
Lee Harvey Oswald slipped into the Texas Theatre without paying on 22 November 1963 and was arrested in the auditorium during the film. The 1931 cinema was reopened in 2011 and runs independent releases and repertory programming seven days a week.
The distinction that matters is that it is not a museum. Every other site associated with that afternoon is preserved and interpreted; this one sells you a ticket and shows you a film in the same room.
Before you go
The seat is marked, downstairs in the main auditorium. Ask at the box office rather than hunting along the rows.
Go to an ordinary evening screening rather than looking round in the daytime. The entire reason this is worth a trip is that it still works as a cinema, and sitting through a film is the way to experience that; walking in to look at a seat is the version that disappoints people.
