Jackies Newport

Jacqueline Bouvier arrived in Newport at thirteen, following her mother's marriage to Hugh Auchincloss in 1942. At that same time Lieutenant JG John F Kennedy was finishing up PT Boat training just across the bay. Eleven years later, in what was deemed the "social event of the year", Hammersmith Farm held their wedding. In a wedding which rivaled the "Astors" of bygone days, Jackie endured the bittersweet day which found her caught in the crossfire of bitterness between her mother and "Black Jack", the father she adored. Newport's "green fields...summer winds...and foghorns blowing at night," would become a cauldron of some of her happiest memories spent with Jack and her family. It served as the summer White House for 1000 days and just weeks before Jack's death, they had signed a lease to spend the summer of 1964 at Annandale Farm. Newport had become not only the summer White House, but an oasis as well. It was Newport which bound Jackie to "a family you love...you take with you, no matter how far you go."  As First Lady, she welcomed two heads of state to Hammersmith Farm and weeks before a November trip to Dallas; the celebration of her tenth wedding anniversary was held with cocktails served in the Deck Room as had been the case ten years earlier. Reflecting on that evening Jackie's mom recalled, "I can't think of two people who had packed more into ten years of marriage than they had...they were very, very, very close...He appreciated her...and she worshiped him."  Jackie was only thirty-four when her husband was struck down by her side; and after carrying the nation through four of its darkest days, she returned to Newport, to gather herself and garner the strength to move on.  Herein lay the story of America's First Lady: her meteoric rise on the world stage and her courage, elegance, strength and dignity. If you lived it, this will bring a new perspective of all she endured. If not, you will learn why Jackie remains six decades later, America's First Lady and what the City by the Sea meant to her.
