Brookline, Massachusetts

The town of Brookline is located in eastern Massachusetts, just five miles (eight kilometers) south of Cambridge and five miles (eight kilometers) southwest of Boston. It is part of Norfolk County, and is home to 57,107 residents.

Brookline was once known as the "Town of Millionaires," and the community's impressive roster of former residents include President John F. Kennedy, landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, poet Amy Lowell, and TV personality Barbara Walters. Not surprisingly, one of Brookline's most famous attractions is the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site. The birthplace of one of America's most beloved presidents was restored to its 1917 appearance by the president's mother, and each year thousands of visitors come to tour the house and the surrounding neighborhood. Brookline is also home to the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site. Although the park portion is closed for construction until 2010, visitors can still participate in interpretive programs or conduct research in the Olmsted Archives. Another one of the city's cultural gem is the Larz Anderson Auto Museum (formerly the Museum of Transportation). Here visitors can view an impressive collection of antique automobiles and enjoy a walking tour of the beautiful Larz Anderson Park.
