John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum — Attraction in Barnstable

The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum is a must see & visit attraction when traveling through Cape Cod, Massachusetts (MA).

In August of 2022, I brought and treated my wife and myself for a self guided tour of the museum during our vacation in Cape Cod.

The John F Kennedy Hyannis Museum showcases President Kennedy & his family’s deep attachment and presence in Cape Cod, MA and details his strong love and reverence for this beautiful coastal destination.

What my wife and I enjoyed about the museum were it’s prolific collection of images that featured John F. Kennedy spending time with his family in Cape Cod.

We also liked the amazing photos of Kennedy sailing the Victura, the gorgeous pictures of his spouse, Jacquelin Kennedy, viewing and reading about Kennedy’s rocking chair & the exhibit on the Kennedy compound.

Visiting the museum was a delightful experience and my wife and I definitely recommend for everyone to take the time to stop by and explore this wonderful...

There was close to 100 people that were so bottlenecks that we couldn't even walk through. I was told to just come back another day. Wait.... people had to make appointments for time slots. This doesn't make sense. Just left for it would take a good 2 hours to get through this many people. Insane and a disgrace the way...

After visiting JFK national library in Boston, a few days prior, I decided my next visit had to be the Hyannis JFK Museum. The Kennedys spent their summers in Hyannis port right on the water, so it’s only fitting that the museum is located here. The building itself is beautiful, very old and almost resembling a house from a few hundred years ago. the exhibits are all on one floor, which makes it easy to navigate room to room. I think the best part of this museum photos of the family in the Hyannis and Cape Cod area. The museum has pretty much everything you want to know about the Kennedys in Cape Cod and some JFK/presidential factoids as well. When I was visiting, the whole second floor was a JFK Jr exhibit on the anniversary of his death. Check out on my photos below. The only thing that doesn’t make it a five star experience was that it’s...
