John F. Kennedy's Geneva Visit (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Have a look at J.F.K.'s itinerary on Oct. 25, 1960, including his stop in Geneva, in this presentation shared by the Geneva History Museum.

On October 25, 1960, then Senator John F. Kennedy spent the day in the Chicago area, which included a speech on the steps of the Kane County Courthouse in Geneva. Kennedy did not receive a warm welcome from the strong Republican crowd. This program shares Kennedy’s itinerary that took him to Geneva just two weeks before becoming president and video interviews from those who were there.
