Mustangs of Las Colinas is a bronze sculpture in the Las Colinas area of Irving, Texas. The Robert Glen sculpture, commissioned in 1976 and installed in 1984, portrays a group of nine wild mustangs at one-and-a-half times life-size. The mustangs are running through a watercourse, and fountains make it appear that the animals’ hooves are splashing water.

The Ruth Paine House Museum opened on November 6, 2013. The city of Irving purchased Ruth Paine’s small suburban home in 2009 to preserve the home’s history surrounding the tragedy. Half a century later, the historic home was restored to its 1963 look and transformed into a multimedia museum to interpret what happened in November 1963. On November 21, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald went to the house for an overnight visit with his wife and kids, who had been living with Paine. This was unusual as Oswald usually visited on the weekends. Video images projected onto glass panes depict actors re-creating certain moments, such as when Paine was shocked to hear Marina tell a police officer that her husband owned a gun. Paine lived in the house until 1966 and now resides in California.
