Kennedy Compound Located in Nantucket Sound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts Built in 1904 and is acquired by six acres on ocean front Cape Cod The home was first bought by Grandfather Joseph Kennedy and was remolded to equip their nine children and later the other generations to come. Two other homes were build around the main house by brothers John and Robert. The house was used for many activities with the family growing up and for entertaining many guests and weddings In 1960 JFK used the compound as a base for his Presidential campaign The compound was also used as a Summer White House and President retreat It is said today that the compound would be transformed into an education center and museum *The Hospitality Industry could help by promoting the opening of the new education and museum center by having an annual opening party. In the past we could have helped by renting out the compound when the families weren't using it for a charity events, weddings or personal vacationing.
