John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site
Brookline, Massachusetts · USA
The birthplace of President John F. Kennedy, preserved as it appeared in 1917 by the Kennedy family. Set in in Brookline, USA, the historic house draws visitors from around the world who come to experience its unique atmosphere firsthand.
Among the highlights is the presidential birthplace, which gives visitors a vivid sense of John F. Kennedy's work and life. The influence of Colonial Revival is evident throughout. The curators have done exceptional work in bringing the history of the place to life.
Visiting John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site is a genuinely rewarding experience. The suburban setting adds considerably to the atmosphere — there is something particularly affecting about encountering John F. Kennedy's work and life in a real place rather than a purpose-built gallery. Allow at least an hour and a half to do it justice.
