For years the Kennedys have vacationed at their summer home in Hyannisport. While the compound is private, visitors to this museum get a glimpse of what this special place meant to the 35th president through video and photo displays. In them, John F. Kennedy is shown relaxing at the place he called "the one place I can think and be alone." A memorial to John F. Kennedy, Jr, who died in a plane crash in 1999, was recently added.

Not as impressive as the one in Dorchester, but worth a look. Eighty photographs spanning JFK's life from 1934 to 1963.
