Just beautiful ! Well worth seeing. Can just imagine the Kennedy's going to church there, very emotional and touching. The doors were open, so we could go in and sit and truly enjoy the majesty; beautiful sanctuary with stained glass windows, and be in peace & solitude. We were there on a Saturday afternoon, in September.

We've driven past this little museum many times in the past but never stopped in. Friends suggested we visit with them so we stopped by. This little building is chock full of interesting maritime exhibits, from a scrimshaw display, sailors valentines, detailed model ships, ancient navagation equipment, etc etc. and that's just up stairs, downstairs is a boatbuilding workshop and outside is a boat shed with interesting small boats. A fun informative trip and the staff was more than willing to answer any questions and provided a lot of insight. We'll be back. We signed up for their newsletter to get info on new displays.

I called around to many salons last Saturday, looking for a last minute appointment after finding out i was returning to work in two days! ( I didnt want to return to work with my quarantine hair haha) The receptionist was great and got me in for that afternoon in a cancellation spot! The salon was definitely busy but everyone was wearing masks and spaced appropriately. The salon was very clean and beautifully decorated, while still having that local salon comfortable feeling! Albena did an amazingggg job on my highlights and i will definitely be back again!

We came here while vacationing in the area and were quite happy with the choice! We brought our dogs, who were quickly welcomed, very friendly staff, and got to enjoy a fun selection of beers - including the first Milkshake IPA I've ever had in my life. Definitely a fun and unique type of beer! Would definitely come back.

The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum Foundation preserves and promotes the legacy of President Kennedy, his family, and their deep connection to Cape Cod. John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum is a multimedia exhibit designed to open a window on the days JFK spent on Cape Cod; days relaxing with family, days as President of the United Sates when the Cape provided a time to relax and be reinvigorated and days spent sailing on the ocean to which he was so constantly drawn. The Museum's exhibits features videos and photographs spanning the years 1934 to 1963 and is arranged in thematic groupings to reflect John F. Kennedy, his family, his friends and the Cape Cod he so dearly loved. In addition to photography, a video narrated by Walter Cronkite depicts the president's experiences on the Cape. Several themed areas include charged oral histories of JFK's friends. Please check our website for correct dates and times that the museum is open.

Second visit to the museum and it was great to see improvements to the exhibits being constantly made. The Jacques Lowe exhibition of family photos was great with the highlight being the picture of Bobby Kennedy failing to hide his dislike of Lyndon Johnson at a meeting with the Kennedy boys.
