JFK at 100: Life and Legacy

John F. Kennedy’s words inspired not only his generation but continue to inspire generations of people around the globe. How did he become a man so committed to public service?  How does his legacy live on? What role did Cape Cod play in shaping his personality? Our special exhibition, JFK at 100: Life & Legacy, strives to answer those questions.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917.  Although he lived only 46 of the past 100 years, he continues to be quoted constantly by world leaders. Thousands of public facilities have been named in his honor. He visions for space travel, civil rights, and nuclear non-proliferation remain a guiding force for how we approach these contemporary topics. JFK at 100: Life & Legacy considers how President Kennedy influenced the full hundred years after his birth – not just the first 46 years he was with us.
