Concierge.com's insider take:
The JFK Library, which opened in 1979 in an I.M. Pei–designed building, is dedicated to the study of the 35th president's life and work, and houses his presidential papers and a museum. Start with a film chronicling JFK's life until the 1960 campaign season, then work your way through exhibits of campaign memorabilia (signs, buttons, and TV ads); video of the Kennedy-Nixon debates; correspondence between family members; and photos of the Kennedys at Hyannisport. It's great for history buffs, but be aware that getting there without a car is a bit of a schlep (on the T's red line, then a free shuttle bus); leave about 30 minutes each way. The museum is located adjacent to the University of Massachusetts Boston campus, but there isn't really much to do in the area aside from admiring the harbor views.
