September 12, 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the wedding of Senator John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Spring Street. A reception followed at Hammersmith Farm, the summer home of Jackie’s mother and step father. The wedding was covered by fashion and celebrity photographer Antionette “Toni” Frissell (1907-1988), whose family used to spend summers at “Vedimar” on Harrison Avenue and are interred at St. Columba’s Chapel in Middletown.
The Kennedys returned to Hammersmith Farm for the last time on their 10th anniversary in 1963.
