With the death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Boston Globe is reporting that the famed Hyannis summer compound “will probably be turned over to a national nonprofit group, possibly to be opened up as a museum or retreat center.”

The property, purchased by Joseph Kennedy in the late 1920s, has been strongly identified with the family for generations.
