In 1914, Joe and Rose Kennedy married and moved to 83 Beals Street where they spent six years and had four of nine children.  In 1969, Rose Kennedy donated the house to the National Park Service as “a gift…to the American people.”  Since then, more than 500,000 visitors have toured this modest home.
