Barnstable Town Manager Calls JFK Museum ‘Economic Engine’ for Hyannis

With over 68,000 visitors per year and an ever-increasing array of guest speakers, the JFK Hyannis Museum on Main Street, Hyannis is credited as a key economic driver for downtown Hyannis.

Barnstable Town Manager Tom Lynch called the institution an “economic engine,” and said that, after having a conversation with museum directors, he thinks their plans for 2016 and beyond will continue to attract visitors to the area and introduce families to the Kennedy family’s historical involvement with Hyannisport.
