While the exhibits on display at the JFK Library and Museum are more than enough to keep visitors enthralled, the building that houses the museum is also worth mentioning. Designed by I.M. Pei, the John F. Kennedy Museum building overlooks Boston's Old Harbor in Columbia Point. Visitors can explore a park spanning 9.5 acres of terrain covered with weeping willows, wild roses, sea grasses, and other natural delights. In fact, the landscaping was carefully curated to recreate imagery from JFK's famed stomping grounds at Hyannis Port on Cape Cod.
As you walk through the museum, you'll be transported back in time to experience the nation-changing events of the 1960s from the perspective of JFK. Exhibits cover the Space Race, the nation's political landscape during the era, and the first family's influence on style and culture. One of the highlights of the museum is that guests visiting from May through October are able to see President Kennedy's beloved 26-foot sailboat moored on the library's ocean side.
The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library Museum in Boston is very much a living library. It was founded with the purpose of collecting and preserving items for both public viewing and research. The full collection covers Kennedy's life, the Kennedy administration, and the political affairs that shaped the Kennedy era. In addition to learning about the man himself, visitors also learn about insights about Kennedy's extended family, friends, and contemporaries to gain a well-rounded perception.
