Museum/Library
Museum/Library: John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Columbia Point, Boston, MA
Visited: 8/11/2019
Log Excerpt: "... we moved on back to Boston and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. The first thing we did inside was to get some lunch in the nice café overlooking Dorchester Bay. We then took the path through the museum, starting with the campaign trail, through the Presidency and ending with the JFK legacy after his assassination. On the path we passed through a very nice central White House corridor, with rooms off of it for different presentations. The Oval Room wasn’t as effective as in others we’ve seen, only reproducing central parts and have a huge video screen behind the desk. Exiting the exhibit area we entered the soaring Pavilion area, with a multi-story open area of open structure, looking out over the water. Heading outside we took a stroll around the building and along the water."
