Home Movies

The Museum's collection of amateur films and images illustrates how home movies and personal photographs can capture history on an individual level. These collections include silent, color films of Kennedy taken during his 1960 presidential campaign and at his funeral in 1963, as well as historic footage of the president's trip to Dallas and films of Dealey Plaza, Dallas Love Field airport and the Texas School Book Depository. These films provide a significant visual eyewitness record of the Kennedy assassination and related events.
