CUMBERLAND ISLAND
Where John was married

A LUXURY ROMANTIC HOTEL
ON THE GEORGIA COAST'S GOLDEN ISLES

A grand and graceful mansion located on Georgia's Golden Isles on the state's southernmost coastal island, Cumberland Island. Cumberland Island was the 19th century retreat of Thomas and Lucy Carnegie who, in 1900, built Greyfield for their daughter, Margaret Ricketson. Converted to an inn during 1962 by her daughter, Lucy R. Ferguson, and family - who oversee the daily operation - Greyfield Inn exudes the welcoming atmosphere and charm of a family home.

Ireland:



JFK Jr had two vivid memories of his 1966 trip to Ireland. One was the tune to the ballad Up Went Nelson. The other, says his close friend William 'Billy' Noonan, "was of Irish Government drivers telling him that the only way to catch leprechauns was with pints of Guinness, and if he happened to produce a few pints, they might be able to snag one.



So John secured them a few glasses; the next day he noticed there were empty glasses and no leprechauns. At six years old, he'd had his first taste of blarney."
