It is natural that a place that inspired the 35th President of the United States as much as Cape Cod should have a museum in his honor. This museum is located on Main Street in downtown Hyannis.

There is a monumental sculpture placed at the entrance to this museum of John Kennedy walking barefoot through the sand and sea grass of Cape Cod. It was created by master artist David Lewis, and dedicated in 2005. To read more about this art work, see the following waymark.

From the Museum web site

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 playing football with PT109 buddies, days spent sailing on the ocean to which he was so constantly drawn.

The exhibit features over 80 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.
