What you'll do

JFK was born in Boston – so he had a special connection with the historic city and thought of it as his home. At this JFK Presidential Library and Museum, you'll immerse yourself in a timeline of his transformative presidency, complete with rare family photos and artifacts. Watch video clips of press interviews, see replicas of White House offices, and learn all about the life and legacy of the Kennedy family.

Housed in a striking building, designed by I. M. Pei, the JFK Presidential Library and Museum sits on a ten-acre waterfront site on Columbia Point and offers panoramic views of Boston's skyline and Harbor Islands. There are 25 multimedia exhibits to see, as well as replicated period settings from the White House. Learn all about President Kennedy's days in office, life in America during the early 60s, and Boston's connection to both.
