Reply to Hello! Never been to Massachusetts but I’m possibly of planning to go in May I have two questions! 1. I was wondering if there will be a JFK birthday celebration event for his birthday? 2. What Kennedy locations should I visit? by NotMarilynMonroeXO

The JFK library is best. Its a really good history of his life, presidency and death. His childhood home in brookline is a national historic site but its closed until summer '23. Dont know if it will be open in May. https://www.nps.gov/jofi/index.htm

You can also go to the Massachusetts State House. Theres a JFK memorial there.

If you want to drive 90 min west, there's an eternal flame in Springfield's forest park.

Greater Springfield has everything you want except public transportation to speak of except the bus.( But no one outside metro Boston has much for public transit.) No one outside metro Boston has much public transit. It will be much cheaper than greater Boston. Housing costs are much less. Quadrangle museums. The 5 colleges are 30 min. up I91. Hartford is 30 min south. Worcester 30 min east. There's a ton of hiking and biking trails 10 min outside Springfield. There's a casino in dt Springfield if you're into that.
