Now this surprised me...
This is the house where JFK was born, and it's - very... normal. The first and second floors are set up as they were when the Kennedys lived there, through 1920. And the basement is 1/2 gift shop, 1/2 video presentation. On the whole, it's a very modest museum, particularly as compared to the LBJ site. Though I did find it very interesting to compare the openness of the LBJ site - noting both his successes and failures, strengths and weakness, in good balance. The JFK video, in contrast, focused on the positive, and excused the failures - and then ended very suddenly with Kennedy's death.
On the whole, it wasn't what I expected, but was rather enjoyable, and _much_ easier to find parking than I expected.
