As the only cemetery in town that would take him, Lee Harvey Oswald was buried in Fort Worth, Texas on November 25, 1963 (just three days after the assassination) and you can find his grave in the Shannon Rose Hill cemetery.

at the first fork in the road, keep left (northwest), and then right away at the very next one, keep right (sort of straight north)

as you keep straight and head north, you’ll see this ⬇️ red mausoleum up ahead

Here are step by step directions to help you find the grave of Lee Harvey Oswald.

park near the mausoleum, and walk towards those small stairs that you can see in the picture to the left of the mausoleum
