The Ruth Paine House Museum exhibits the history of its role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald stayed at the home with his wife the night before he assassinated JFK at Dallas’ Dealey Plaza.

Restored to its 1963 appearance, the multimedia museum tells the story of how Ruth and Michael Paine became caught in the aftermath of the tragedy and relates important background information, making it a must-see on the list of JFK- related sites. Tours begin at the Visitors’ Center on the third floor of Irving Central Library.

Irving Central Library, 801 W. Irving Blvd. Third Floor, Irving, TX 75061, 972-721-3729
