  • JFK’s Final Night Alive and Last Speech Locations - Hotel Texas in Fort Worth. Visiting the JFK memorial outside of the current Hilton Fort Worth once known as Hotel Texas. They have a beautiful memorial and state right outside the hotel where he made his second to last speech. We then take you on a tour of the INSIDE of the hotel to see where exactly JFK slept the last night of his life and well as the Chrystal Ballroom where he ate his last meal and made his final speech to 2,000 people before driving off to Dallas on that fatal day. Walk the final steps of JFk in Fort Worth with us.

    I hate to burst your bubble. But that statue of JFK is NEAR the spot where he gave his outdoor speech. Not the exact spot. In 1963 the front of the hotel was a parking lot. JFK gave his speech in front of the hotel. Not where his statue is today. JFK statue is facing west off to the side. But his statue should be in front of the hotel facing south. And Fort Worth is the 13th largest city in the U.S. and Dallas is the 9th largest city in the U.S. Almost equal in size. Fort Worth is quickly gaining in size as Dallas in population.

    The platform JFK and LBJ are standing on are clearly directly in front of the hotel door. So the aspect of the statue is not accurate. Great statue though.

      @texasborn2720 2 роки тому +2

      I live in Fort Worth. You are correct ! In 1963 the front of the hotel was a parking lot. And JFK gave his speech to the gathered crowd in front of the hotel. His statue is near but not at the exact spot where the President gave his speech. Good call.

    Congratulations! Great video and we can feel your passion for JFK. I have the same ever since I was a teenager thirty years ago! I went to Dallas and visited the museum where I spent four hours reading and watching every detail of that tragic day. Now I wonder if Air Force One could have been a choice to spend the night? Maybe history could have been different, only God knows... Thank you so much!

    Nick, what an eerie thought... while he was merrily talking to the crowds, his assassination was being fine-tuned. This whole thing is part of our history. Thank you for taking us to such interesting, diverse locations, and providing audio and visuals, when possible.... Elvis's path was tragic, too, in many ways. I read once that he always felt "a sense of unwarranted guilt" 🙏 that he lived and his twin brother died. another great video 👏☀️🌟

      Thanks Rhonda! Glad you liked it. As far as Elvis goes, YES that's true Elvis until the day he died always felt guilty that he lived but Jesse Garon died. His mother would tell him - "they say when one twin does, then the other that lives takes all the strength and abilities of the two." Thanks again :)

    Nick: your narration at 1:09 is incorrect: President Kennedy's Air Force One landed at Ft. Worth's Carswell AFB - not Love Field in Dallas - late in the evening of Thursday, November 21, 1963. Those who fancy themselves as "Travel Guides" or amateur historians should do their public a service by performing basic research prior to publishing their work. Although you may find my comment distasteful, please recognize that you have a responsibility to the the majority of your viewers, most of whom learn history only from UA-cam and other social media.

      How our country could go from the most charming, charismatic, and classy president we’ve ever had (Kennedy) to the most ill-mannered, know-nothing, obnoxious blowhard in Donald Trump is mind-boggling. I will say, however, that Lyndon Johnson was about as ill-mannered as Trump. Our two most corrupt presidents have been 1) Lyndon Johnson and 2) Donald Trump.
