Such a nice home for a family in the early part of the 20th century. But knowing just how many Kennedy kids Rose had it definitely would not be large enough to have all of them growing up in this home. It was really lovely of Mrs. Kennedy to purchase and restore the house to how it was around 1917. A fitting tribute to her son. Thanks Ken it is lovely to see such history.❤️💯👍😊🇨🇦🇨🇦
Actually - before the Kennedy's moved to NY, they purchased another much larger home in Brookline Mass at 51 Abbotsford Rd. This happened when JFK was three years old. Although a NZ'er I spent my formative years in Boston while my father obtained his PhD (Nuclear Physics) at MIT. We lived not far from the Abbotsford Rd house. We were there at the time of his assassination. Such a tragedy. His spirit lives on.
The Kennedy Compound is right here in Hyannis Port and both the JFK Museum & JFK Memorial are right here in Hyannis. I think the JFK Library is in Boston, where his brother Ted lay in state. Victoria Reggie was outside, greeting those who came to pay their respects. She's a very classy lady. Thanks, Ken!
There are literally thousands of similar homes in the greater Boston area, all of which have become prohibitively expensive. My favorite detail was the tiny “kids table” in the dining room. Those too used to be a common feature of family homes.
A comfortable, family home. So glad Rose Kennedy took the initiative to purchase and restore it and then donate it to the NPS for future preservation.
Well done! I enjoyed that immensely. A timeless beauty. Thanks again.
He was born in 1917 so the home was a new build at the time. Brookline is a lovely area
One of the nicest towns in metro Boston and all of Massachusetts

What a lovely house! I'm so happy it's going to be open for us to go through!

The children’s table in the lovely dining room

With the silver bowls. ❤
thank you!
Amazing portal of history. Thank you.
It's much nicer than a lot of today's newer and bigger houses.
THANK YOU 🙏 for this! It was wonderful 👏👏
Very cool. Thanks.
This would be a great home to live in today. Very comfortable looking without being huge and ostentatious.
Brookline Massachusetts is extremely expensive. A home like that will set you back a few million.
I didn't even know this existed. Thank you for the tour AND the info! ❤
I thought the parlor looked very elegant and comfortable.
Nursery was my favorite.
The baby gown was adorable!
Thanks, I didn’t know this existed. I’m glad it now belongs to all of us.
The living and dining rooms
Brookline, MA
👍 Parlour FP.
Wish you could go into Kennedy's Martha Vineyard home .
The Martha’s Vineyard house was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ house, not the Kennedy family.
Curious how the parents had separate beds but all those children. ❤
Life's easy when you have money and they had plenty.❤
감사합니다.
Thank you!
Considering the Kennedy curse, it’s actually quite surprising that the house is still standing.
The nursery
His family to New York when he was 5. He didn't spend his youth here but in Riverdale, NY
Poor Joe.
Now show the home of his fathers mistress .
Which one?

As Marilyn would say, but you can’t hold an idea like you can hold the man that thought it. Lucky her, I guess.
