The Kennedy Compound consists of three houses on six acres (2.4 hectares) of waterfront property on Cape Cod along Nantucket Sound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, in the United States. It was once the home of Joseph P. Kennedy, an American businessman, investor, politician, and U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom; his wife, Rose; and their children, including U.S. President John F. Kennedy and U.S. Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy. As an adult, the youngest son, Edward, lived in his parents' house, and it was his primary residence from 1982 until he died of brain cancer at the compound, in August 2009.[2]
Purchased in 1928, the compound became the place that the Kennedy family most associated with home.[3][4]
John F. Kennedy used the compound as a base for his successful 1960 U.S. presidential campaign and later as a Summer White House and presidential retreat. In 2012, the main house was donated to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate.[5] As of 2020, Robert Kennedy's widow Ethel lives in their home adjacent to the main house.
