Summer Authors Series 2022
Join us at the JFK Hyannis Museum as we host James Graham, Author of Victura: The Kennedys a Sailboat and the Sea.
To truly understand the dynamics and magic of the Kennedy family, one must understand their passion for sailing and the sea. Many families sail together, but the Kennedys’ relationship with Victura, the 25-foot sloop purchased in 1932, stands apart. Winner of the Chicago Book Review’s Best Books of the Year (2014), author Graham illuminates this year’s new main exhibit at the JFK Hyannis Museum entitled Presidential Summers: The Kennedys on Cape Cod.
