John F. Kennedy Museum, Main Street, Hyannis Massachusetts

John F. Kennedy is Cape Cod’s most famous resident. Come to the Kennedy Museum and learn about the time that JFK spent on Cape Cod from his early childhood through his presidency. You’ll see him enjoying Cape Cod summers with his legendary parents Joseph and Rose Kennedy and all his brothers and sisters.

See pictures of him sailing his beloved sailboat Victura, a 26-foot Wianno Senior, he received from his parents on his 16th birthday. The sea was always important to Kennedy. In a 1962 speech he said, “”We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came.”

The JFK Museum on Main Street, Hyannis contains 80 photographs reflecting the years 1934 to 1963. In addition to the photos, there’s a video narrated by Kennedy-friend, noted newsman, and Martha’s Vineyard resident Walter Cronkite, highlighting the JFK experience on Cape Cod.

Authors also speak at the JFK museum. Most recently Martin Sandler presented his newest book JFK Through the Lens.

As you enter or leave the John F. Kennedy muesum, please take note of the life-size bronze statue of JFK. It was created by local sculptor David Lewis, who lives in Osterville.

The John F. Kennedy Museum is open from February through November.  Admission for children under 10 is free. Children from 10 through $2.50. Adults $5.0. It is located at 397 Main Street, Hyannis. Telephone (508)790-3077.
