I have photographed all these homes. I have been on many Kennedy Home Tours when visiting America. The last I had to see was La Gurieda at 1095 North Ocean Blvd in Palm Beach, Florida.I visited there in February of 2020. The Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port will always be the houses that remind me of them as there were so many photos taken there? I did a tour MANY years ago that showed all the Boston homes of all the Kennedy Clan...that started a lifelong love affair and a determination to see every home! Took 30 years and many, many hours of international flights but I did it!
Wow congratulations! I would like to tour them someday as well
P
😊
That's so cool.
😅
My favorite is definitely "Hickory Hill." So GORGEOUS and traditional . . . Timeless too!
Jackie had impeccable taste. No one like her before or since. Amazing woman.
Fully agree.
Katherine King Charles daughter in law favors blue as well
Jackie had such exquisite taste. I love Hickory Hill and the more rural properties they owned. Wexford was especially beautiful. If Jackie decorated it, it was a show place for sure. ❤❤❤

There will never be another Camelot ❤🙏❤
Jackie had such WONDERFUL TASTE!!!! I think the home that JFK ended up selling to his brother was my FAVORITE!!!! Rest in Eternal Peace JFK, Jackie, John Jr. and Caroline!!!!
What I realized when she described the Hickory Hill house was that Jackie and Jack probably bought it with the expectation that they would fill all those bedrooms. Then they moved to a much smaller home.
Caroline is still alive!
@@Lunafalls JFK Jrs. wife was with him when he crashed. Her name was Caroline. Not sure how she spelled it. So was her sister Lauren. So no, she passed too.
@@libertygiveme1987 His wife was CAROLYN (rhymes with Marilyn), and his sister is CAROLINE (rhymes with Clementine).
@@Lunafalls OK. Nevertheless, she died in the Plane Crash with him!!!!
They moved a lot, also had separate bedrooms…hope they shared many happy moments….
Many people of wealth sleep in separate bedrooms.
Middleburg was my favorite although it was sad. Jackie’s appreciation for preservation, her personal taste, horses, her emphasis on privacy, intelligence, career, motherhood, and her patience with her husband were admirable to me. Only the Kennedys could have compounds🙄
The first residence must be the most beloved, it was the Begining of their marriage.
The white house had another ambiance when the Kennedy family lived in there. Jackie remodeled every room the best way. It was the proper residence of a President. She was a glamorous First Lady.
I admire Jackie’s taste in home interior design, and fashion too. As someone who is not a fan of the trends of the 60’s and afterwards, Jackie’s taste imo was a pinnacle point in modern design. The reason is that she was not trendy but she was chic, and had a respect for classical taste that is bound to be timeless. Thus her style is defined by elegance, but understanding how it can be evolved in the future as forward thinking while giving a node to historical designs as a base for it to work in any period.
Imo, design in modern aesthetics has instead clashed as it follows more of the consumer market of creating quantity over quality and trends have been a waste of time and resources. That is something that I admire about the regions that respect historical architecture that knows how to improve a space without getting stuck only having to restart over. Lately, I give credit to the lockdown, more people are starting to relook at how they style their homes in a more beneficial way for both the homeowners in the long term and for the building. Jackie’s style imo is a great place to look for inspiration because she beautifully created each of her homes a blend with the old and the new without clashing, but balancing it just right to work together.
Loved reading your comment! Great points! Welcome to the channel
@@CulturedElegance😂😂p❤o
D'accord! Her taste, whether it be her personal style or her choice of interiors, was a perfect balance b/t a reverence to the classic/historical basis (design or architecture) and a restrained step into what is considered a "Contemporary" flair or influence, noting her affinity for designs by Oleg Cassini and Valentino, who both brought an innovative eye and classic training to their creations.
Ils etaient parfaits pour Jacqueline!
However, I believe her GREATEST contributions were her restoration of the White House, reclaiming many of the home's antiques and original pieces for the project and truly transcending beyond its former looks to the heightened, transcendent, inspiring overall presence it deserved. We all owe Jackie for that accomplishment!
Jacqui's 2nd most remarkable and historic contribution was her plan for her husband's funeral. Using Lincoln's historic funeral as her guide. Jacqui, in the midst of unfathomable grief and shock, crafted her husband's iconic, military funeral procession, mass and burial. Altho I am sure she had assistance with all of this, her inspired vision (historic and appros-pos, given both were assassinated US presidents), her sense of duty to our nation and perpetuity, and, finally, her deep devotion to her husband are that of legends.
Jacqui was truly amazing.
Another beautiful presentation along with the history lessons! All the homes are beautiful but I love the White House!
Thank you so much Ms. Jackie!!! Your comments are so kind!! 💕🤗 they make my day!!
Hickory Hill is to die for.❤❤❤
My favorite is the White House, mainly because that one is so full of history, not only from Jack and Jackie Kennedy but from most of our years as a nation. Ms. Kennedy put a lot of time and effort into the restoration of the early 1960's and "twisted a lot of arms" to get cooperation from a lot of others beside herself..lol! I very much enjoyed the video...very informative and well done!
I agree 🥰
I love her decorating style. I saw a video of her sister Lee’s home. Her style was very fussy looking and ornate . Jackie’s style was beautiful❤
I loved lees home. I thought it was awesome...she was stylish herself but had her own style definitely different then Jackie's.
I so agree about Lee's being too much. Over the top. Not my cuppa but I do admire her boldness.
My goodness the Kennedys were extremely wealthy. All the homes that they purchased and never sold. I love it. Such a elegant couple. No one like them since.
Another great video!! I learn so much.
Thank you!! I so appreciate your comments!! Have a blessed day!
Thank you. This was wonderful.
“McLean” rhymes with “the plane.” (Something only locals ever get right.) Aren’t the houses just awesome?
😂😂😂 all in the accent!! Yes they are!
The Hickory Hill home is one splendid place, I wonder who owns it now?..Did Robert live there until his unfortunate passing?..or did the family retain it after..🤔
Someone has purchased. Torn down n rebuilt. Robert family lived many years .children have grown up sold of.
Hickory Hill was not torn down… it was taken down to the interior walls and rebuilt. Central air and heating, etc etc.
HH is actually right on the road and you can walk right by it.
@frostpond RFK Jr told a story about living there as a child and how hor it was - and how they had to put fans everywhere to keep it livable in the heat.
This house has great historical value as it was the Kenedy's residence at the beginning of their marriage.
My favorite would be the last home she and JFK would have. That was of their own creation. I am sure Jackie made most of the design but with her husband's desires included. She would have her horses and he would have a place to relax and enjoy the play of their children as the last of their home movies have shown. Unfortunately, that time was cut short. But it was the home they together build for themselves and that is why I pick it.

Been to Cape Cod, beautiful town.
I truly enjoyed this video - a lot of photographs that I've never seen before. It was a pleasure to watch! Thank you.
Beautiful done video Beautiful narrative !!!!😁🇬🇧
Oh my gosh! I absolutely love Hickory Hill. It is gorgeous. Love this property and close to water.
Jackie Kennedy was like family to me living in the city.
I've been to Hickory Hill. Once, I was invited to a fundraiser hosted by Teddy. His nephew Patrick was running for congress.
Could you make a video of Jackie’s 1040 Fifth Avenue apartment? I have only found a few pictures
Yes I will next week!❤️🥰
Thank you ☺️
Loving your videos❤
Thank you so much Linda!!
I love Jackie's style. It reminds me a bit of Coco Channel! ❤
Chanel 😘
All are beautiful and elegant just like Jackie was! Thank you so much for sharing! I throughly enjoyed!❤
Hickory Hill is lovely!
Nice presentation
I appreciate that the historical photography includes @ the 4:04 mark where I counted 5 AC window units, signifying the days before central AC would have been part of an upgrade. I wonder how the family fared in Georgetown & DC residences - Washington is basically built on a swamp & summers were [& still are] beastly. But that's what summer retreats are for.
Informative 😊
Thank you!
This was one of the best videos Ive seen on youtube. Thank you for this wonderful presentation of the Kennedy homes. My favorite is Hickory Hill.
Oh my goodness what a compliment!! Thank you so very much!!
Thank you. Very nice video. Interesting.
I had never seen their previous homes in videos previously.
My family is from Massachusetts.
Love the Kennedy family and always interested in their history.
So glad you enjoyed!! Thank you for watching
They upgraded the D.C home nicely.( First home on this vid, I mean) If was me, I would change the kitchen with marble or quartz.
My least favorite: Wexford. It didn't look like Jackie at all. I guess my favorite, Dent Place, being their first home. It's currently for sale.
Thank you for your lovely comment!! Welcome to the channel Stephanie!
@@CulturedElegance thank you for the wonderful video.
President Kennedy himself wasn’t the biggest fan of Wexford house
Nicely Done! All Splendid properties! Thanks for Sharing!❤
Very nice video.
Hickory Hill my favorite. Second favorite is Oak rental on 400 acres by water. Hyannis also.
I liked the starter home the first one cause it reminded me of my last apt I miss that place
My fave is Wexford, that is the home I would choose for myself. Wondering if Jackie went back there after she moved out of the White House.
I read it was sold after assassination.
I liked Hickory HIll and Hyannis Port but loved the views of Middleburg, VA.
Has anyone noticed that seemingly Jackie left many of her White House Residence furniture behind? I saw a picture of LBJ in 'his' bedroom with the exact same furniture that JFK had. I also saw a picture of Lady Bird with in the Central hall residence with the very same Screen Dividers at the end as did the Kennedys. Just a thought? maybe she didn't want a lot of the stuff because she knew it would've reminded her of that time, and her husband.
Btw, that early pic of JBK in Georgetown with her poodle 🐩 that she named “Gaullie”. Gee, I wonder who she was honoring? I wonder if she mentioned that at Versailles in ‘61? 😮😊
All so cute
Sure. It's lovely
Nikita Menefee Onassis 🕊️
I know the family. 🙂
💕
I like there 1st home it would suit my lifestyle now. 2nd the Hyannis, Ma. one.
Less is really more.... The evidence is under our eyes...
Totally american elegance from the most beautiful decade ... the 50's !
Que casa ta. Hermosa tenia el presidente kennedy y su familias
I don't remember the name but my fav was the Georgian -white with black shutters. I was surprised to see the home that was one story. Wonder if that was to accommodate Jack's back?
Jack? Do you refer to John Kennedy? For some reason I see a lot of British people referring to him by his close family nick name. If we referred to Queen Elizabeth as “Lilibet “ that might not go over well.
I agree, the Georgian was so beautiful. I also think the one story was because of his back. He was the peoples President, and I am sure you can refer to him as Jack. He would have liked that.
Everyone in the nation knew and loved the couple as “Jack and Jackie”!
Is that Iris Apfel at 12:03? She did work on the fabrics.
Their first home.

@@guldenaydin9918I thot N. Hamilton was coming out w/another bk, following up RY......a good writer!
I think most young people choose someone to admire. Nowadays it would be a musician or a someone from Love Island but when I was 10 or 11 years I admired Jackie Kennedy and wanted to copy her style and grace. I wanted to know her opinions on everything and remember watching the tour of the White House here in the UK. I still would want to emulate her today rather some celebrity star with tattoos and all the fake cosmetic surgery.
Young people of Jackie’s class exist today as they did then. I can reliably report that young people of refinement & education would not be likely to choose tattooed musicians but rather someone of similar background as themselves.
When Queen Elizabeth passed, it was the end of an era. An era of elegance, grace, true beauty...when education and manners were prized.
何て麗しい光景だろう💗🌐の皆が大好きだった🍀😌🍀家族👪 蘇りは全くない惑星地球🌐 仕方がないんだよ それがいくら愛されてったって 絶対ないってこと 😢 そして自分もいつかわ同じ運命 何のために生まれて死んでいってなんなんだ〰️って 毎日毎日が幻さ 幻でもいい ケネディ一家を確かに見れた小さな私がいた💖🙏
Nice having very rich daddy’s to pay for it. My favorite was Hyannisport house. Cape Cod is my “hometown”.
JFK Junior didn’t grow up in the house on N street. He was two months old when the family moved into the White House. The rest is history.
They needed these huge homes! Yea.
Lol!!
Jackie looks like disneys mermaid
The best home I believe was located in Hyannisport.
I definitely love that home!!
Camelot was so beautiful... incredibly all r gone except Caroline
My mother divorced her husband in 1962, something unheard of then and raised us very modest and practical, so I don't get how much more extravaganzance anyone would need..., WTF ???
Hickory Hill
But hey now they're happy ever after!
แปลไทยหน่อย
She had such style. She was not a pretty woman, instead her face was not symmetrical and it was broad and too much distance between her eyes but she "decorated" herself and educated herself in such way that she appeared to be quite beautiful, albeit she was glamorous and educated, beauty evaded her.
N’importe quoi. Elle était belle. Une des plus belles femmes du monde. La classe, l’élégance comme aucune et l’éducation. Je l’adorais. Gloire à Madame Jackie Kennedy. La splendide First Lady.
Many people do not agree with you! Jackie was very beautiful! The distance between her eyes was fine and there’s nothing wrong with broader cheekbones. Plus, JFK Jr was extremely handsome, and he got all his looks from his mother! If you look a little closer at several photos, it’s very clear that his looks came from his mother.
She was indeed beautiful. Naturally beautiful all of her life. I find that comment catty, disrespectful & suspect.
@@deboraholsen2504 That's fine. I had seen her in person and though I admired her greatly, I still did not find her a natural beauty, but she had great style and taste in attire and decor and the family had the money to pay for that. Fortunately, she left a legacy for the Kennedy administration and other FLOTUS to emulate. However, many had great taste. You just did not witness it up close as hers was the first to be given such wide audience but her youth made her even more impressive in that such a young woman was so refined.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And, is more about attitude and manners than facial appearance.
Brownstone and Orca
Well one has to say she was delightfully special and he was very attractive didn't the whole world just love them. Jackie's beginnings with JFK were ideal. Politics and media and other predatory females sure set about tearing them to shreds".No show for punch without Judy."Not to mention Lyndon Johnston's and the FBI"s final barbaric act. Beautiful homes as expected..To think those same politicians are still in power today.and worse.
The homes are nice, but all those moves further prove their family life wasn’t all that stable. A beautiful family, yet so much instability and tragedy within it.
The moves indicate wealth, not instability.
@@Bronte866 Yeah. Wealth and instability. The Camelot narrative was a myth.
@@claudiusreed9691 good grief. They were married for 19 years before his death and much like other politicians or say thousands of military, that’s just not that big of a deal but by all means, I think you should say the same to any member of the military who has to frequently move their families. 😊
@@danielleS257 Married for a long time, but JFK was shagging everything that moved behind Jackie’s back, including with Marilyn Monroe. I mean, learn so history about the Kennedys. They were a beautiful and wealthy family, no doubt about it. But let’s remember the real history and not the fantasy that’s been sold.
They moved up
Guess she was busy,hence straying began;)Sorry he was busy,jetsetting2

We always heard Jackie was a "strong" woman yet she sold a beautiful home just because of a miscarriage. We all suffer setbacks yet move forward in hope of a better time. ❤️🙏
Indeed❤️🙏 she had a very very hard life despite all the opulence that surrounded her
@@CulturedElegance Really.🤭🤨🥱. We should all have it that hard.
No one is positioned to know such a thing. Even the Kennedy’s would not sell real estate so lightly or over sentimentality. I am aware of this story and am aware it is tabloid fodder.
@@Solitarynana7870 Oh honey I have lost a child... more than 1. I also ended the life of one when I was 18 & that's why I know it's so very very wrong. Anyone with a conscience knows what I'm speaking of. You NEVER quit wondering who that child could have been. The good Lord forgives... however there's always an empty place at our table and in our hearts that should have been filled except for my own selfish existence choices. ❤️🙏
Jackie suffered a miscarriage and her next child was born stillborn. Then Hickory Hill was sold to RFK and Ethel Kennedy who had 3-4 children. Caroline was born a year or two later. JFK, Jr arrived 3 years later in 1960. While in the White House Jackie gave birth to Patrick, who died a few days later.
Yo siento que tengo mucho de
Jacky Kennedy ,Todo en Ella
Me gusta .
Solo hay una diferencia
Yo Soy Cristiana .
Aparte de eso tengo fiiling
( ósea sal ,pimienta y picante )
Esto debe de estar ,Para que
El Esposo y El Matrimonio
Camine bien .
Y El no busque afuera nada
Cuando Todo está en casa .
Como Mujer de Dios , Una
Debe tener Todas las virtudes
Y así Ser Mujer Virtuosa
Quien La hallará ,Su Estima
Sobrepasa a Las piedras
Preciosas .
Una Mujer Virtuosa ,No Se
Vende ,Ni tampoco se puede
Comprar
Una Mujer de Dios no Es
Extravagante ni ostentosa
Ni Ama las riquezas ,Si Le
Llegan puede disfrutar
Pero con sociego ,No
Alocándose .
Y Siempre Su Esposo tiene
Que sobresalir ,No dejando
Su Esposo que Ella brille
Pues Dios Nos da Dones
Talentos y habilidades
Para ponerlos al servicio
De Dios y La Comunidad .
Esto es lo que pienso
Esta Soy Yo Elizabeth …🙏✝️
Not really a home. Jumping from one house to the next every couple of years does not equate to a home, just a place to stay for the moment.
I would be taking that town house back in time and ditching that mid-century modern crap .no offense.
I loved the colors of the old decor instead of now where things are so dull mostly white for rich people ugly
Thank:God she had other hses.this way she had somewhere 2retreat to*
This woman was the champion of wearing a bull's wig 😅
Aujourd'hui la couleur blanche domine . On se croit dans une cuisine d'hôpital idem pour la chambre c'est triste à mourir nouvelles tendances fades
And like his father he was never faithful to her, gilded cage
She traded a life of comfort for a cheating husbsnd
So sad as she had a wonderful education , work experience , etc. which could have led to an amazing lifetime career in multiple areas ; not criticizing her choice to be a wife & mother but have read that she was advised ( warned ? ) of her future husband's cheating / deceitful behavior . Fortunately for we US citizens , she bro't intelligence , grace , dignity & culture to the White House thanks to her education & life skills achieved " before " marrying & again later in her life , these traits were quietly yet remarkably visible to the world .
as did many of her background in that era..... very different world- hard to grasp if you didn't live through 1950s & early 60s
@@sheilacarey347 I DID come from that era.
Jackie knew from the beginning, when she started dating him, that he was a cheater. She ALWAYS knew he would screw around on her. But she wanted the money and status anyway. THAT WAS NOT A SYMPTOM OF THE ERA.
@@christineribone9351 I've read that her father was also openly a " cheater " & also financially irresponsible . We all look for love & security in our own lives , in various ways .
@@sheilacarey347 Baby boomer here - remember wearing a " Jackie - inspired " dress for my conformation . Also , very few , if any , of my friends' moms ( white collar mid / upper middle class ) worked outside the home . Being a wife & mom was work !! - fewer appliances , convenience foods , etc. & doing charity / volunteer work was important & valued too !
No wander, he cheated on her they didn't sleep
Together .
He was a bad husband in my
Humble opinion.
the kennedys where bastards including Joe
I believe it was Betty Ford who insisted that she and President Ford sleep in the same room. Prior to then, all Presidents and First Ladies slept separately (or at least had separate bedrooms).
She had pregnancies.
La first lady d'America finché era moglie del Presidente poi rimasta vedova si risposò con Onassis e divenne una sciacquina qualunque!
