The John F. Kennedy Presidential Exhibition
“The John F. Kennedy Presidential Exhibition” is now available to casinos, fairs and other large drawing public events. The exhibition includes 300 carefully selected JFK related items from a private collection of over 21,000 items! We would like to share this very important moment in history with you and your guests. We offer a display exhibit that is attractive and will draw  a large number of visitors!
“The John F. Kennedy Presidential Exhibition” is not an ordinary exhibit. JFK will widen your market, and appeal to a large group of people; but in particular, the baby boomers. The baby boomers are extremely interested in history and will remember what life was like over 40 years ago. This successful attraction will encourage and have the added value of drawing visitors into your establishment and boost the dollar intake of your merchandise, food, and gaming opportunities.
The exhibit begins with a video of JFK as a boy, narrated in part by Rose Kennedy, and a very rare 1800’s campaign button for his grandfather “Honey Fritz”, the family's first politician. Through music, video, photographs, hands-on exhibits and rare items under glass, you and your guests will get to know John Kennedy as a man, not just a name in history. There are items personally owned by the President, in the exhibit, including a sweater he would have worn later that fateful day in Texas given to him on his birthday by Jacqueline Kennedy!
Even though the convertible Lincoln Limousine will be a prominent part of the display at your venue, the focus of the entire exhibit will be on the many positive aspects of JFK’s tremendous life. The Lincoln Limousine was his limo throughout his presidency. This replica of President Kennedy’s 1961 Lincoln was made from the “original” blueprints for JFK’s car as delivered to the White House in June of 1961. On television, this limo has been featured in “The Kennedy Car” episode of the SPEED channel’s series, “Behind the Headlights”; and during the 25th anniversary remembrance segment on “The Today Show” with Bryant Gumbel. This “X-100”, as it was known by the Secret Service, has been used in four major motion pictures; Warner Bros., Oliver Stone’s “JFK”, Sony’s “Ruby”, NBC TV’s “A Woman Named Jackie”,and Warner Bros. “The Watchman” (released in 2009).
This is a museum quality experience that you and your guests will never forget. Adults will remember and children expand their knowledge. Previously seen at: The Big E., Springfield, Massachusetts; I-X Center, Cleveland, Ohio; David L. Lawrence Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Tennessee State Fair; New York State Fair; Longview Texas Rodeo; Jacksonville, Florida Home Show; and Baltimore, Maryland Home Show.
This exhibit is more complete than ever before and fresh to the public. This exhibit will inspire those who view it, just as this President always has. In fact, on November 22, 1963, a nine-year-old boy was so inspired by this great President, that he began collecting items related to JFK. This collection expanded as this child grew into adulthood and all items displayed in this exhibition are part of one man’s private collection. His collection continued to grow while he owned and operated two major Fortune 500 franchises – Dominoes Pizza and McDonalds. He has since sold the businesses and spends his all of his time maintaining and growing his JFK collection.
Please take a moment to look through our displays of all we have to offer. This exhibit was truly designed for your patrons’ enjoyment. Call for availability and space requirements. Don’t miss your chance to book this moving and memorable exhibit.
