Hyannis, a town as sleepy as it is secluded, with its colorful houses and neat flowerbeds dotting the sidewalks, is a map of sailboats and afternoon strolling, but it is not only a summer destination: it is, above all, the fiefdom of the only dynasty that has ever existed in the United States.
In front of the family residence, built by patriarch Joe and his wife, Rose, in the bend of a nearby beach, the Stars and Stripes flag still flies as a challenge to the curse that has haunted the family name since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, in 1963.
Unlike the Kennedy mansion, the rest of Hyannis can be visited, but it's best to do so in the off-season when it wakes up from the din of tourism.
