Vern and Letha arrived here in Plymouth in the afternoon, 45 min before closing time.
After taking a nice rural photo at Rochester, VT., they continued South on Hwy 100
until they come 100A, turned east and was here.
The photo below is from a postcard purchased at the homestead.

Coolidge acceded to the presidency after the death in office of Warren G. Harding. Coolidge was the only son of John
Calvin Coolidge and Victoria Moor Coolidge. His father, whose forebears had immigrated to America about 1630, was a storekeeper who instilled in his son the
New England Puritan virtues--honesty,
industry, thrift, taciturnity, and piety--while his mother cultivated in him a love of nature and books.
A graduate of Amherst College, Coolidge began
practicing law in 1897.
In 1905 he married Grace Anna Goodhue,
a teacher in the Clarke Institute for the Deaf,
with whom he had two sons.

These photos were taken by Vern and Letha. This store (facing East) is an operating store
primarily for souviners. Calvin was born in the living area in back. They moved to a large
house across street, to the North in about 1876.
