We spent a Sunday afternoon here...that day easy street parking literally in frontWe watched the movie about Rose Kennedy which was an excellent intro to the house tour.An energetic volunteer led us thru the house. JFK was actually born here and lived here for about 3 years before family moved a short distance into a house twice as big.Actually a very simple house on a still residential street. Sometimes the powerful start modestly.
Had a chance to preview Edward M Kennedy institute for study of the U. S. Senate to open in March 2015. Every school student should have a chance to see and learn about this important institution: the U.S. Senate.(There was no place else on this website to highlight it.
JFK's birthplace, a modest home on a beautiful sycamore-lined street, with knowledgeable and friendly National Park Rangers to share the family's history and guide you through the house. A really lovely, educational, fun and inexpensive piece of Americana!
JFK's birthplace is tucked away in a residential neighborhood in Brookline, MA. We like to visit presidential homes and this one is a nice little find. Like anywhere in Boston, the one and only problem is parking!
A must if you go to Brookline. The birthplace of several of the Kennedys, includint John F. The house is put back the way it was when they lived there. Park ranger does a great job with the tour. On Beals St. off of Harvard.
自然呈现,不加雕饰,客观的历史。虽然空间较小,但参观者井然有序,不喧哗嬉闹,显出对历史和今人的尊重,以及高尚的文化素质。
We finally saw the JFK National Historic Site, and it was brilliant. No matter how you feel about the politics of Jack Kennedy, it's very interesting to learn about him and his family during their early years in Brookline. The tour guide we had was excellent, and filled us in on the details about the family. You are taken throughout the house, and I found it fascinating to be in the rooms of this very famous American family.
This site begins its tour with a video reinforcing Rose Kennedy's dedication to public good and to her family. The house, where JFK lived as a boy, focuses on the daily life of the Kennedy family rather than on their politics, which of course for John came much later. Interesting piece of history in leafy suburbia.
We've been staying in Brookline often over the past 3 years, but we finally made it to JFK's birthplace. I'm glad we did. A pretty but nondescript home on a quiet street, it serves as a great illustration of the roots from which came. An interesting 20-minute video preceded a personal guided tour of the home that interestingly gave a more personal look at his upbringing and background. Compared to the official Presidential Library (which we visited the next day) I think I enjoyed this even more.
I had no clue that this existed, but my friend who lives in the area and knows I like learning about history recommended it. The house itself is hidden on a quiet street, but was easy to find. The tour is free and was super informative about the early Kennedy family life. I enjoyed it a lot!
