After a long shutdown, the National Park Service plans to reopen the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site on June 1.
The site, which preserves the birthplace and boyhood home of the nation’s 35th president, will be open until Oct. 30 for its first full season in five years, NPS said.
The agency said it had to close the site in Brookline, Massachusetts, in 2019 for both renovations and accessibility updates. Work had been scheduled to begin in early 2020 but was then delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The restored home will now include a new visitor center with a wheelchair lift and improved retail space, NPS said.
