For those interested in stepping into the birth home of President John F. Kennedy, his mother, Rose, has lovingly restored that home to its former state. Guests to the home will be ushered into the basement, where they will find a gift shop. Afterward, the guests can take a self-guided or ranger-guided tour through the home. Though the top floor has not been renovated and is used as attic space, the remainder of the home, including servants’ quarters, has been restored to about the exact time of JFK’s birth (which was at home). Guests can see actual artifacts that belonged to the family, as well as family photos throughout the home.
