Photos & Multimedia

Our Photos and Multimedia section of our website features a virtual tour of the house and a photo gallery of events and education programs. You are invited to step back into 1917 via a virtual tour that includes historic photos, recent photos of the interior of the house, and a recorded audio tour by Mrs. Rose Kennedy. We hope the images in the photo gallery convey a sense of the range of activities that take place at the John F. Kennedy NHS.

Cars on Beals street

In 1914, the Kennedy home was the last house on tree-lined Beals Street.    While houses later occupied the fields around the Kennedy’s property, many of the trees that lined Beals Street during Jack Kennedy’s childhood -including the  tree in front of the house- have soared to a height of 75 feet.
