JFK’s parents never expected that their second son would grow up to be president. Yet in his birthplace home he learned values that inspired a life in public service. His mother, Rose Kennedy, recreated her family’s first home to share her memories of those early years with visitors. We commemorate not only his early life, but the ideas and principles he left behind.

In dem Bemühen, die Erinnerungen von Frau Kennedy an diese Epoche einzufangen, hat der National Park Service einen Tonband-Rundgang des Geburtshauses produziert, in dem die Mutter des Präsidenten die Familienaktivitäten und die Einrichtungsgegenstände beschreibt und persðnliche Anekdoten erzählt, die den Zeitgeist und die Stimmung dieses Ortes vermitteln. Diese auf Tonband aufgenommene Schilderung ist ein populärer Aspekt der erläuternden Führung und wurde in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt.
En un esfuerzo para capturar las memorias de la señora Kennedy sobre ese período, el Servicio de Parques Nacionales produjo una cinta de audio con el recorrido guiado de la casa de nacimiento, en donde la madre del presidente describe las actividades familiares y los muebles, y comparte las anécdotas personales que transmiten el espíritu del lugar. La narración de la cinta es un aspecto popular de las guías con interpretatión guiada y se tradujo en varies idiomas.
In 1966, following the death of President Kennedy, the family purchased the birthplace as a memorial. Rose Kennedy restored the home to her recollection of its 1917 appearance, and gave this home to the American people in 1969. In an effort to capture Mrs. Kennedy's memories of that period, the National Park Service produced an audio tour of the birthplace, in which she describes family activities and furnishings and shares personal anecdotes that convey the spirit of the place.
No entrance fee.
Pour essayer de rendre les souvenirs de madame Kennedy sur cette époque, le Service National des Pares a enregistré une visite audio-guidée de la maison natale au cours de laquelle la mère du président elle-même décrit l’ameublement et les activités de la famille, en nous faisant partager des anecdotes personnelles qui traduisent l'esprit de l'endroit. Cette narration enregistrée est une facette très prisée de la visite d'interprétation guidée, et a été traduite en plusieurs langues.
当家は、ケネディ大統領のご両親であるジョゼフ P. ケネディとローズ フィッツジェラルド ケネディご夫妻が初めて一緒にお住まいになった家で、ここでアメリカの最も著名な一家の社会的、政治的な土台が築かれました。ケネディ大統領の死後、1966年に一家は大統領生誕の当家を購入し、ローズ夫人によって記念館として1917年当時の姿へ修復されました。ローズ夫人のお言葉によれば、「この家をアメリカ国民へ寄贈することで、将来にわたって人々が訪問でき、この素晴らしい国の歴史をより良く知ってもらえればと願っています」とのことです。
