John F. Kennedy National Historic Site

Fodor's Review:

This was the home of the 35th president from his birth on May 29, 1917, until 1921, when the family moved to nearby Naples and Abbottsford streets. Rose Kennedy provided the furnishings for the restored 2½-story, wood-frame structure. You can pick up a brochure for a walking tour of young Kennedy's school, church, and neighborhood. To get here, take the MBTA Green Line to Coolidge Corner and walk north on Harvard Street four blocks.

  • Open: Mid-May-Nov., Wed.-Sun. 10-4:30, call to confirm; tours every ½ hr 10-3:30, with open house 3:30-4:30
