This is a nice place to visit and at first I thought it had reasonable admission fees. I changed my mind though when I realized that a number of attractions you can get into without paying anything and that some of the buildings you could not go into even with a wrist band. I don't know if that was because it was a rainy morning or if this was standard practice. The cheese factory does NOT require a wrist band, so if you want to look at the grounds and skip going into the museum and barn, you can do so.

The village of Plymouth Notch, Vermont is restored to the time Calvin Coolidge was president. It is a very interesting and well managed place to gain an insight into U S Presidential history.

A tour of Coolidge's home and adjacent buildings gives you a feel for small-town Vermont life in the early 20th century, as the buildings and furnishings are authentic originals. The museum has many photos and documents from the president's life.

We were on our driving vacation in VT, June 2014, heading towards Brattleboro, on the 100A route south. We had read about Plymouth Notch, and decided to take a look/stop at the State Historic Site. What a nice place this is. We parked at the museum and went and had a look around. $8 per adult to get in. Really good information and photo's/exibits to be seen. Outside were the barns and old buildings of the village. It is as though you have stepped back in time. The cheese shop is a stop not to be missed, lots of choices to be had. Then of course you have to go and pay your respects at the cemetery, just a short walk across the road, and see the resting place of the former president Calvin Coolidge, along with all his ancestors, buried alongside him. What a wonderful stop this was, not to be missed.

You will need to plan for a couple of hours to get around and see all the different historic buildings. You first have the Education Center and Museum to go through, then watch a movie, and then head out to see all the buildings. There is so much to see... The General Store, where you can grab a moxie (if you dare) the presidents favorite beverage, then head upstaris to see "the summer white house" it's very interesting. Then head over to the Wilder House for a bite to eat, fresh homemade food! Take a stroll over to the church the president grew up in and attended, just beautiful! Then go see where the president lived and where he took the oath of office! Then you can head over to Plymouth Cheese and see where they still make cheese to this day! Yumm..... You can also just pack your picnic basket and pick a spot (there is not a bad one) and just enjoy the incredible views here!!! There are so many other things to see and do. I really enjoyed my time here and you will too!!

I enjoyed this site tremendously. I had no idea that it would be so interesting. It is hard imagine that a president of the United States came from such a rural area.

Nestled on the picturesque Vermont mountains' the village is a step back in time. Wheelchair accessible. Clean. Ample parking. Easy to walk around the village. Saw Calvin Coolidge's birthplace as well as the home in which he was sworn in as President. The barn museum is filled with antique carriages and farm implements. Quite interesting. The visitor's center is friendly, with clean restrooms, and a very nice movie revealing the Coolidge family and village. Well worth the visit.

An extremely interesting site which gives a very good feel of what it must have been like in Calvin Coolidge's time

My wife and daughters (5 and 7) all had a great time. The buildings are all very well kept and have interesting displays setup that are loaded with history. It is located in a beautiful area not far from Okemo. You'll be treated to a nice drive down Rt 100 if you're coming from the Ludlow area. There is a restaurant on site but we didn't go there. The place was fun to explore and wasn't crowed. You spend a good amount of time outside going from building to building, so dress accordingly for the other weather.

This is a significant historical site: a President was sworn in at the house in 1923. This is one of a very few places outside Washington, DC where this has happened. Calvin Coolidge's family home is preserved. When President Harding died, Coolidge was sworn in at the house. The farm nearby where Coolidge was born is also here. There is also a Vermont cheese and wine shop withlocal products. Coolidge's gravesite is just down the road. The site is well cared for. Plymouth is an easy sidetrip from US 4 across Vermont, and well worth a stop.
