New Orleans Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK Conspiracy Walking Tour

New Orleans Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK Conspiracy Walking Tour

Overview

Lee Harvey Oswald returned to New Orleans, the city of his birth, on April 25, 1963. He left New Orleans for Dallas on September 25, less than two months before the assassination of President Kennedy. Why was he here? What was he doing during those months? With whom was he associating? The Warren Commission Report told one story. Fifty- six years later a very different story has emerged. This walking tour takes you into the heart of the dark mystery centered on 544 Camp Street. We will visit the actual locations around Lafayette Square, the Central Business District and the French Quarter following in Oswald’s footsteps. We will see the home Oswald left as a 17 year old to begin the strange odyssey that led to Dallas.You will see the very disturbing Zapruder film.You’ll see and hear from Oswald on archival film. At the end, you’ll decide: assassin or patsy?

David is an excellent guide and has extensive knowledge of New Orleans and its connections to the events surrounding the JFK assassination. I came into this with a pretty deep well of knowledge but I still learned some things. Seeing all the places where the plots (yes, plural) came to life within a few blocks of each other is fascinating. Bannister's office, the Federal buildings, the Reilly Coffee Company, you name it. Highly recommended to anyone interested in Oswald and his life.

David commented on how much he enjoyed the time spent together, your keen insight and excellent questions. Your validation of the research and dedication we put into our Oswald Tour is greatly appreciated.
