This special episode takes us inside one of the most quietly significant homes in Oak Cliff—the Oswald Rooming House Museum. Filmed on-site in the very dining room where Lee Harvey Oswald once sat, we sit down with owner Patricia Puckett-Hall to hear the deeply personal and often surprising stories behind the walls of her family's century-old home. Patricia shares what it was like growing up in the rooming house, and her unique perspective on Oswald—not just as a boarder, but as a young man who played with her brothers and once tried to help her with homework. From alternative theories to untold memories, this episode offers an intimate look at the legacy of a space that remains steeped in both neighborhood history and national mystery.
