“Join Wendy Northcross, Director of the JFK Hyannis Museum, for a look into Presidential Summers – The Kennedys on Cape Cod, now on view in the museum’s main gallery. This exhibit captures the magic of Cape Cod weekends, when President Kennedy arrived by helicopter to be greeted by his children and a lively group of nieces and nephews, ready for candy store trips and family fun. For JFK, these summers meant renewal, inspiration, and cherished moments by the sea.Part of our History on Tap series—join us for an evening of local history, conversation, and craft brews.
Enjoy craft beer from our sponsor, Cape Cod Beer, along with cheese, crackers, water, and non-alcoholic beer options.
We highly recommend reserving your tickets on our website in advance. Popular events often sell out quickly, and we cannot always accommodate walk-ins. Don’t miss out—plan and secure your spot! “
