由 I. M. Pei 设计的纯白混凝土塔楼与九层玻璃展馆拔水而起,坐落于 Columbia Point 迎风而立的 Dorchester 港湾之岬。展馆内部大致依时间脉络铺陈 John F. Kennedy 的总统任期:从1960年对决 Richard Nixon 的选战及首场电视辩论,到就职典礼,再到陈列着 HMS Resolute 坚毅桌复刻品的 Oval Office,直至古巴导弹危机与将美国人送上月球的太空竞赛。展厅之上,档案馆完整珍藏着这位第35任总统的文件档案与 Ernest Hemingway Collection。参观的高潮止于 Pavilion——一座高达115英尺的玻璃中庭,可在此远眺苍茫辽阔的 Boston Harbor Islands。
