1. The John F. Kennedy Library

2. The John F. Kennedy Library and Museum is dedicated to the memory of our nation’s 35-th president and to all those who through the art of politics seek a new and better world. Located on a ten-acre park, the Library stands as a vibrant tribute to the life and times of John F. Kennedy.

3. The John Presidential Library system formally began in 1939. A month before his death, President Kennedy visited Cambridge, Massachusetts, and chose a site next to Harvard University for the Library. It was to be the place where the records of his Presidency could be kept and where he would have his office when he retired from public life. Plans for the Kennedy Library began to take share in December 1963.

4. The Ernest Hemingway collection at the John F. Kennedy Library is the most comprehensive body of Hemingway material currently available is one place. We offer interactive, guided school programs for elementary, middle, and high school students. Self-guided museum visits are available for middle and high school students.
