  • It’s a neat place to go. Very cool if you enjoy JFK obviously. The guided ranger tour is something I missed, but the audio tour features Rose Kennedy as the speaker. There is a short film and nice rangers too. Careful if you are tall because there are a lot of low doorways!
  • Lovely to be here, roots from ireland however still non the wiser who they became so wealthy. From birth place in Boston to the a cruel ending in Dallas
  • Cool old house, doesn't take much longer than 30 minutes to see. Rangers are knowledgeable and happy to have visitors. Neat that this place exists in what is otherwise a regular neighborhood...well done for preserving a bit of history.
  • Nice place to visit. Ranger gives you a tour through the house upstairs and downstairs. If you want, you can buy timed tickets in the gift shop located in back door of house.
  • A modest upper middle-class home. For what John Kennedy's father was yet to become.
