We had stayed in Brookline over night and before going downtown we wanted to see JFK's birth house. We knew it was going to be closed (opens May 20) but it was literally around the corner from our B&B so we went anyway. After standing on the house's porch, reading through the pamphlet we had picked up, a very nice... More

Was lovely to see the home in tact. At the time I did the tour, Rose Kennedy's voice was on the speaker as you journeyed throughout the home. More

I found the JFK family home to be a pleasant, little surprise precisely because the home is a small, unassuming home down an unassuming yet lovely one-way, tree-lined street in the heart of Brookline's Coolidge Corner. Take the short, informative tour of this Kennedy childhood home and imagine what a typical day must have been like in the household, and... More

My daughter lives in the neighborhood, so it was an easy walk to the house. Even in those days, it was quite a large house for newlyweds....and they had live in help. They were not your typical newlyweds, I'm sure. The house does not have all the original furniture,,,rather Rose Kennedy tried to recreate what was there, though the dining... More

As a young Canadian, at the time, I always had a great admiration for your young and vibrant president. This childhood home has been very authentically and lovingly recreated by Rose Kennedy.

The home is a little off the beaten path, being almost at the end of the subway line from Boston, plus a little walking from there. However, there is a nice tour and the house features several original Kennedy family pieces and has a nice gift shop. You must reserve a tour, although it does not cost. More

We live right in the neighborhood, so we've taken a few guests on this tour. Each time, it's different, but each tour guide does a good job of bringing the house to life! Really gives you an insight on the Kennedy family, as well as how the rising stars of that era lived. A fun tour! More

We were there when they celebrated JFK's "92 Birthday". There was an open house with a birthday cake. The house is decorated and set up like it would have been when JFK lived there when he was 3 years old. There was a small kids table set up in the dinning room next to the adults table for him and...
