Kennedy Homestead Visitor Centre is situated beside the original farmhouse.
The Homestead celebrates the story of five generations of the Kennedy dynasty. It is still farmed today by their descendants, Patrick Grennan and his family.
The Kennedy family legacy is an integral part of daily life in Co. Wexford.
Facilities at the Homestead include a unique collection of Kennedy memorabilia, audio- visual displays, a souvenir shop, picnic area, wheelchair access and extensive car and coach parking facilities.
On the 22nd June 2013, the Kennedy Homestead was officially opened by Caroline Kennedy and Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny. The occasion coincided with the JFK50 celebrations which took place throughout the month of June to mark the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s visit to Ireland in 1963.
Both the Dunbrody Famine Ship Experience and the Kennedy Homestead are run by the John F. Kennedy Trust and a joint ticket option is available to visitors to both sites.
