Although curious or devoted fans of the late president John F Kennedy still stop to look at the town or to visit its memorial to JFK, the attractions in Hyannis these days are commercial. |

Hyannis gained national fame during the presidency of John F Kennedy because of his summer home in nearby Hyannisport. Some of the town's growth and perhaps a good portion of its commercial development dates from that time. Should you need the services of an airline or a department store, supermarket, or foreign auto parts warehouse while on the Cape, Hyannis is the place to come. Many visitors to Hyannis are on their way to or from Nantucket: Hyannis is the port for both car and passenger ferries to that island.
