“Don’t let it be forgot, that there was a
spot, for one brief, shining moment that
was known as Camelot.”
“There’ll be great presidents again...but
there will never be another Camelot.” Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
President John
F. Kennedy
John F. Kennedy Come and celebrate the 100th
birthday of our nation’s 35th President, John F. Kennedy. He was the youngest man to have
been elected to the office, the only Roman Catholic president and the only president to win
a Pulitzer Prize for his biography “Profiles of Courage.” Learn how the term “Camelot” came
to be used retroactively as iconic of the Kennedy administration, and the charisma of him
and his family. The term was first publicly used by his wife in a post-assassination Life magazine interview with Theodore H. White, in which she
revealed his affection for the contemporary Broadway
St. Mary’s Church musical of the same name. Join us as we share the
Kennedy Wedding Sit
e
stories and honor President John F. Kennedy.

John F. Kennedy’s 100th Birthday Party
An East Coast celebration not to be missed!
The Kennedy East Coast Legacy
You’ll enjoy a narrated “Kennedy” Tour of Boston that highlights the sights and landmarks that played an important role in John F. Kennedy’s
rise to the White House. Join a local guide and walk past sites such as the JFK Statue on the State House Lawn, The Bellevue Hotel, The Omni
Park House, Old City Hall, the Irish Famine Memorial, JFK’s Senate Headquarters, Faneuil Hall, Union Oyster House and the Rose Kennedy
Greenway. After this tour you will have time for lunch on your own and to explore the shops and historic architecture that make up the Faneuil
Hall Marketplace. Tour the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, designed by the architect I. M. Pei. The building is the official
repository for original papers and correspondences of the Kennedy Adminstration. Begin your visit by watching a film narrated by President
Kennedy, and then proceed to explore the seven permanent exhibits. There will be special exhibits and events at the Library to commemorate
the President’s 100th Birthday. Dinner one evening is included at the Union Oyster House, one of Kennedy’s favorite restaurants. It is the oldest
continuously operated restaurant in the United States. Gather around “Booth 18,” known as “The Kennedy Booth” for a nice photo. John F.
Kennedy spent significant time in the commercial and transportation hub of Cape Cod, Hyannis. There is a memorial of President Kennedy on
the Lewis Bay Waterfront that was erected by Barnstable citizens in 1966. The memorial includes a fountain and a fieldstone monument with
the presidential seal and JFK inscription: “I believe it is important that this country sail and not sit still in the harbor.” We’ll learn about the
history of Hyannis and local area landmarks as we make our way to view the historic Kennedy Compound in Hyannisport on a Hyannis Harbor
Cruise. Other points of interest include Great Island, the Kennedy Memorial, Egg Island, St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, Squaw Island and Point
Gammon Light. Visit the JFK Museum, a multimedia exhibit designed to open a window to the days JFK spent on Cape Cod. These exhibits
feature a thematic panorama of photographs, archival films, artifacts, text panels, oral
histories and a video narrated by Walter Cronkite. Some specifics include a video on the
Boston Public Garden Swan Boat Ride
Kennedys, a Kennedy Family Tree, and a statue, “What Could Have Been,” portraying John
F. Kennedy walking on the beach with his adult son, John F. Kennedy, Jr. Visit the St.
Francis Xavier Church, known as “The Kennedy Church.” From 1926 to 1986, this was the
summer church of the Kennedy family who donated the central alter in memory of their
son Joseph A Kennedy, Jr., who died during WWII. In Newport, Rhode Island, we’ll visit St.
Mary’s Catholic Church where in 1953 Senator John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier
were married. Our visit includes a tour of the church, a movie about the Kennedy/Bouvier
wedding ceremony, the wedding reception, the background leading up to the wedding,
the wedding guests and a live musical performance of the songs from the wedding.
Blooming with Fun
We’ll visit Boston’s Common and
Public Gardens. The Common is the
starting point of the Freedom Trail and the oldest park in the country. Until 1830, cattle
grazed the Common, and until 1817, public hangings took place here. British troops
camped on the Common prior to the Revolution and celebrities including Martin Luther King
Jr. and Pope John Paul II have given speeches at the Common. The Boston Public Garden is
adjacent to the Common and was established in 1837. The Public Garden contains a lake
and a large series of formal plantings. The lake is usually home of one or more swans and is
always the site of the Swan Boats, which began operating 1877. Your visit includes a Swan
Boat ride around the lake, pedaled by a tour guide that sits within the swan at the rear of the
boat. Visit the New Bedford Whaling Museum which tells the story, through collections and
exhibitions, of the international whaling industry and history of the “Old Dartmouth” area of
Massachusetts. This 110-year old institution is now the world’s largest and most comprehensive museum devoted to the global story of whales, whaling and the history of Massachusetts’ south coast region. We’ll visit the Sandwich Historical Society and Glass Museum
which interprets the history of the Town of Sandwich, the oldest town on Cape Cod and its
history with American Glass production. One evening you’ll enjoy spectacular evening of dining and dancing overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Dinner features a traditional New England
Clam Bake complete with steamah’s chowdah and fresh steamed lobstah’. There are alternate entrees for the landlubbers. After dinner, gather round for the island sounds performed
by “My Brother’s Band.” Their “Life’s a Beach” show features tunes such as “Kokomo,”
“Under the Boardwalk,” “Margaritaville” and numerous other favorites. In Rhode Island we’ll
stop at the Green Animals Topiary Gardens that consists of 7 acres of land, a white clapboard summer residence, farm outbuildings, a pasture and a vegetable garden. There are
more than 80 pieces of topiary throughout the gardens including animals, birds, geometric
figures and more. Our last stop in Rhode Island is in Newport, at The Breakers, the grandest
of Newport’s summer “Cottages” and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family’s social and financial
preeminence in the turn of the century America. The footprint of the house covers
approximately an acre of the 13-acre estate on the cliff’s overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
