JFK Presidential Library and Museum, Massachusetts

A Navy man, John F. Kennedy, the 35^th president of the USA, is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. His principal legacy site, though, is the JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. The building opened in 1979, and is a dramatic modern structure designed by I. M. Pei. Inside are period rooms and galleries depicting his life, and time in the White House. A curved stairway outside, around the side of the building, reveals a sweeping vista of Dorchester Bay. Here JFK's beloved sailboat, Victura, lies permanently moored, high and dry, on the lawn.
