After the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston abruptly closed Tuesday afternoon with a sign on its door blaming an “executive order,” the library said the closure was due to federal layoffs.
“The sudden dismissal of federal employees at the JFK Library forced the museum to close today,” the library said in a statement. “As the Foundation that supports the JFK Library, we are devastated by this news and will continue to support our colleagues and the Library.”
The library’s website says it will reopen Wednesday.
