Hyannis Port, Massachusetts
John F. Kennedy Memorial
Cape and Islands Korea War Memorial
For the rich and famous
Hyannis Port is situated at Cape Cod in Massachusetts and is maybe first of all known for housing the Kennedy Compound and other Kennedy residences, which might become a museum following the death of Senator Edward Moore Kennedy.
Hyannis Port is a great tourist destination and the second largest commercial fishing port at Cape Cod. In the village you will find among others the JFK Hyannis Museum, which mainly focuses on President John F. Kennedy’s relationship with Hyannis. On the Lewis Bay waterfront you will also find the JFK Memorial (see top picture).
This blog is written by Dag T. Hoelseth, a Norwegian historian specialising in royal history.
I have a Cand.philol. degree in history from the University of Oslo and graduated in 1997 with the dissertation Det nasjonale kongedømme. Det norske monarkiet 1905-1910, which dealt with the royal election in Norway 1905 and how the new dynasty "became Norwegian".
I am the author of Historisk utredning om Kongehuset, dets apanasjer og disponible statseiendommer, which was published on behalf of the Palace Committee in 2001. The report focused among others on the history of the Norwegian civil list from 1905 to the 1970s as well as the properties the king of Norway has to his disposal.
I have made contributions to several antologies and also written articles for various publications. More often I have operated "behind the scene", consulting newspapers etc. with background information.
Among my other interests are genealogy, Norwegian-American emigration history, US presidential history, traveling, football and ice hockey.
