Hyannis became famous as a playground for the Kennedy family. JFK’s father Joe Kennedy, already a millionaire in 1926, had been blackballed from a private club near Boston, reportedly due to his Irish Catholic roots. Instead, he joined the Hyannisport Club, a golf club managed by an Irish Catholic where he was welcomed as a member.
