Day 62 John F Kennedy Museum in Hyannis MA
John F Kennedy loved the Cape and he spent many years living in Hyannis. The Hyannis chamber of commerce has a created a museum in his memory, it is great way to learn about history and the the 35th president of the United States.
John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum is a multimedia exhibit designed to open a window on the days JFK spent on Cape Cod; days relaxing with family, days playing football with PT109 buddies, days spent sailing on the ocean to which he was so constantly drawn.
The exhibit features over 80 photographs spanning the years 1934 to 1963 and is arranged in thematic groupings to reflect John F. Kennedy, his family, his friends and the Cape Cod he so dearly loved. In addition to photography, a video narrated by Walter Cronkite depicts the president’s experiences on the Cape. Several themed areas include charged oral histories of JFK’s friends.
50 years ago this summer President John F. Kennedy signed legislation establishing an American treasure: the Cape Cod National Seashore. The result: protected coastline from Chatham to Provincetown, recreational opportunities for millions of residents and tourists, and a landmark that defines Cape Cod. Celebrating the Seashore at 50,
