Actors portraying Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams, as well as First Lady Abigail Adams will share stories and engage visitors in conversation.
Festival goers may make a tricorner or stovepipe hat to wear to meet our guest presidents and try out other hands-on activities including NASA astronaut puppets, White House china or origami sailboats.
The festival will close with a special free concert by the Harvard Din & Tonics, who will perform Kennedy campaign songs and popular music from yesterday and today.

The JFK Library is accessible by public transportation. The closest stop on the T, the local public transport system, is JFK/UMASS on the MBTA's Red Line. We offer a free shuttle bus from this station to the Library and Museum.
First take the MBTA Red Line to the JFK/UMASS station.
When you arrive on the platform, walk up the stairs or take the elevator to the station level, exit the station, cross the bridge over the train tracks, descend the stairs or take the ramp down to the street level.
Board 'Bus #2,' a free shuttle bus that will take you from the T station to the JFK Library and Museum.
Bus #2 runs every 20 minutes starting at 10 minutes past the hour during Museum hours. There is signage at the T stop indicating the pick-up location for Bus #2.
