Walking Tour of Georgetown (Part 1 of 2)

Recently, we enjoyed a self-guided walking tour of Georgetown to view the many sites related to John F. Kennedy.  (Thanks to GeorgetownDC.com for providing locations and details.)  

Along the way, we took some photos while learning about the significance of each location.  You can take the same tour that we did.  Here you go:  

1528 31st Street, 1946-49:  "JFK began presidential plans while living here during his senate terms from 1946-49."

1400 34th Street, 1949-51:  "John shared this home with his sister, Eunice Kennedy, before she married Sargent Shriver."

3260 N Street, 1951-53:  "JFK rented this home while running for senate, and met Jacqueline Bouvier at a dinner party."

3271 P Street, 1953:  "Wedding plans were made here after John proposed to Jackie."

3321 Dent Place, 1954:  "The new senator and his bride lived here until back surgery forced him to move back to Massachusetts."

2808 P Street, 1957:  "After releasing his book, Profiles in Courage, JFK developed his presidential campaign from this residence."  (Jules Davids, one of Greg's professors at Georgetown University, contributed to the book.) 

3307 N Street, 1957-61:  "John and Jackie lived here during the 1960 presidential campaign; Kennedy went to his inauguration from this home in January 1961."

3038 N Street, 1963:  "This 14-room mansion is where Mrs. Kennedy mourned after the president’s assassination."

3017 N Street, 1964:   "This house is the final Kennedy home in Georgetown. Security issues forced Jackie to leave after her husband’s death."  So many tour buses stopped outside this home that Jackie realized that her family would have no privacy there.  She relocated to Manhattan.  Fast-forward to 2018, and this house is being renovated for sale to a new owner.

Holy Trinity Church, 3513 N Street:  "The Kennedys often worshiped here throughout their tenure in Georgetown."
