Kennedy Hyannis Port Compound, Massachusetts

Geographically, John F. Kennedy, the 35^th president of the USA, is perhaps most associated with the Cape Cod town of Hyannis Port. The Kennedy family compound in his time consisted of three adjacent houses on six acres next to the beach. The main house, where he spent most of his summers as a child, was first rented, then purchased by his parents in 1928. Senator Ted Kennedy inherited the house and lived there from 1982 until his death in 2009. It is now owned by the Edward Kennedy Institute. Next to it is Bobby and Ethel Kennedy's house, which they bought from Ted in 1961. It is still in the family. Next to it, but closer to the public road, is the house that JFK bought for his family in 1956, which is now owned by Ted Kennedy Jr. The compound is surrounded by other homes, some now owned by family members, but most not.
