The Kennedy Compound or Hyannis Port Historic District is the name given to six acres (24,000 m²) of waterfront property on Cape Cod along Nantucket Sound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, United States.
It contains the home of the prominent American businessman and father to President John F Kennedy, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. and his wife Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. John used the compound as a base for his successful 1960 U.S. Presidential campaign and later as a summer White House and presidential retreat until his assassination in 1963. US Senator Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy lived in the home of his parents and used it as his main residence from 1982 until his death in 2009.
