It is hard to separate a man from his home. In the case of John F. Kennedy, a man who arguably left the most profound impression on America of any president in the twentieth century, it was the port town of Hyannis, MA, which gave him solace and allowed him to make key decisions during the most difficult times of his presidency.
While the Kennedy’s actual homes in Hyannis cannot actually be visited by the public, the family has established a museum which has a number of interesting items on display, including important photos and portraits, as well as memorabilia from the 1960 presidential election which launched the president’s short but notable career.

This small concept statue was one of the candidates for the full sized statue that now sits in front of the musuem — it depicts an older John F Kennedy and JFK Junior, walking on the beach together, in a “What Could Have Been” scenario. The town of Hyannis opted for a solitary JFK depicted in the prime of his life instead.
