Ruth Paine House Museum, Irving

My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful tour today! Our tour guide was outstanding, extremely knowledgeable, and was very charming and professional. It was a thrill to see the house, to learn more about Ruth Paine, and to "step back in time." I highly recommend this home tour!

If you have a keen interest in the JFK assassination and the Oswald/Paine connections, this tour is a must. If you don't, read the history on the Web and then take it in. You won't regret it. The City of Irving should be commended for preserving this vital, albeit tragic, link to history. On my trip in 2021, I was the lone visitor for the first 30 minutes on the weekday morning I went, and Kevin was there providing information, answering questions, and allowing me to proceed at my own pace. A year later, I brought my son along and it was just as riveting, with Kevin as the guide again. The holographic presentations in several rooms add greatly to the experience. As with the Sixth Floor Museum and Dealey Plaza, this is a rare chance to stand in a spot where history was made and ponder a variety of "What if's.''
