Photograph of the birthplace of John F. Kennedy on Beals st. in Brookline, MA
JFK’s parents never expected that their second son would grow up to be president. Yet in his birthplace home he learned values that inspired a life in public service. His mother, Rose Kennedy, recreated her family’s first home to share her memories of those early years with visitors. We commemorate not only his early life, but the ideas and principles he left behind.
On May 29, the birthday of President John F. Kennedy, his birthplace hosted a naturalization ceremony led by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site (NHS) is pleased to announce that the site is reopening for the 2024 season on Saturday, June 1, 2024, and will remain open through Wednesday, October 30, 2024. This will be the site’s first full open season since 2019 and follows a period of renovations and accessibility updates.
