The John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum and Library is the official repository for the original papers and correspondence of the Kennedy Administration. Located at Columbia Point in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, next to the University of Massachusetts, the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate and the Massachusetts Archives and Commonwealth Museum, the JFK highlights all aspects of the 35th President's life through a series of exhibits focusing on his boyhood and early family life to his 1960 Presidential campaign to his assassination in Dallas in 1963. But did you know that Columbia Point wasn't the original choice as the site of the JFK Library? Originally, it was planned to be built at Harvard University in Cambridge along the banks of the Charles River. Finally, Columbia Point was chosen and the library was opened in 1979 on land that originally was a garbage dump. The first floor contains video monitors, family photographs, political memorabilia, an orientation film narrated by President Kennedy and a documentary on the Cuban Missile Crisis. There are seven permanent exhibits--Campaign Trail, which focuses on the 1960 Presidential campaign, the New Frontier and 1960 Democratic National Convention memorabilia; Briefing Room, an exhibit on JFK's speeches and press conferences; Space Race, a view of the U.S. space program and the Mercury-Redstone 3 space capsule in which astronaut Alan B. Shepard became the first American in space; Attorney General's office, an exhibit on attorney general Robert F. Kennedy, the president's brother; Oval Office, displaying items that JFK kept in the Oval Office and information on the American Civil Rights Movement; First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, displaying artifacts, footage and pieces of clothing from her life; and the Kennedy Family, photographs and artifacts and historical information about one of the nation's most famous families. But that's not all. The JFK Library also is home to the most extensive collection of documents, photographs, books, letters and personal belongings of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway, including 90 percent of Hemingway's existing manuscript materials. It's more than one person can cover in one day.
