We toured through the little village of Plymouth Notch and experienced an interactive historic overview of Calvin Coolidge's homestead, his private life and presidency. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic docents were on hand to answer questions. Wander the lovely grounds to see the original post office, General Store, 1840's Church and more. Meander up the street a few paces and visit the Plymouth Cheese Factory and store to see a pictorial demonstration of cheese making in VT. Don't forget to pick up some wonderful Vermont cheese or maple products in their store! It was a delightful visit.

Except what is sold in the general store, that is up-to-date artisian craftsmanship (which I think cheapens the whole experience - but I get it). I haven't been to the homestead for years and it is still as I remember it. The buildings, grounds, inside/outside, everything is so very well preserved. You can spend all day if you really want to read up on everything and get a sense of President Coolidge & his life in VT. Well done.

This gives a view of the isolated Vermont community where Calvin Coolidge was born, grew up, was sworn into office and is buried with six other generations of Coolidges. The visitor center has a short introductory video, and then you can walk into the general store and home where he was born, and even see the bed he was born in. The church he attended has a beautiful interior, and we went into the home across the street where he grew up and was sworn into office. His father's cheese factory is there and is still making artisanal cheese. His mother's family home is open as a restaurant, and her family barns have been reconstructed with agricultural machinery, couches and cutters on display. Surrounded by beautiful Vermont countryside, compact enough for easy exploration, but only open seasonally, from May to mid-October.

Loved it. Had lunch at the restaurant there, great sandwich and very friendly staff. Toured the grounds. This is like a little town, very neat. Part of it has a tour guide, rest is self guided. Scenic too.

Such a lovely place,nestled in the Vermont mountains. The homestead is nicely preserved and easily accessible. Rustic, not fancy, not overstated. The staff was courteous and informative. Glad we stopped in. Gamed new insight into the Coolidge family and Presidency.

We went not sure what to expect. The tour was nothing to write home about but exploring this site on our own took about three hours! It was cold and rainy but we had a great time. The cheese making factory was the highlight of our trip. The museum in the visitor center had some excellent interactive exhibits and everyone was very friendly.

Excellent visit to a president's home and village. We have a much better appreciation of his contribution to the people of the US.

We made an unplanned stop by the Calvin Cooledge Homestead on one of our routes touring Vermont and we were glad we did. The grounds are pristine, the guides were well informed and we really learned things about President Coolidge that we didn't know. I highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area.

This was totally worth the stop. We loved checking out such a neat part of our nations history. Well worth the detour.

What a place to step back in time! Very beautiful setting. Easy to imagine what life was like in rural Vermont a 100 years ago. The buildings are authentic and the museum pieces are pristine. The explanations of Coolidge's life are very complete. Would recommend this site to any history buff. The photo's and film of the President pitching hay onto a wagon (and not just for a photo opp. He actually worked the farm on his visits as Pres.) were wonderful. You can't imagine a modern Pres. doing that in this day and age.
