The JFK Museum and Library is one of the most treasured and architecturally striking edifices of all government monuments. Obviously the Kennedy family is held in high regard by people the world over and certainly truly beloved here in the Bay State. Designed by I.M. Pei, the JFK Library and Museum is a must see landmark not only because of its breathtaking vistas, but its exhibits will certainly inspire patriotism and pride in labor and unionism. Walk with us through the museum, join us for appetizers in the Museum Pavillion, look out at sunset at the Boston skyline built by the men and women of the building trades and finally have dinner with us at Smith Hall with equally amazing panoramas at night.
