Coolidge Homestead, Presidential homestead in Plymouth Notch, United States.
The Coolidge Homestead stands as a preserved farmhouse with its original furnishings, including the family parlor and personal items from the 1920s.
In 1923, Calvin Coolidge took the presidential oath of office in the family parlor after receiving news of President Warren G. Harding's death.
The property contains twelve buildings that represent rural Vermont life, including a general store, church, schoolhouse, and traditional cheese factory.

Vermont contains remote locations of historical importance that often lie away from major routes. The region encompasses active and abandoned granite quarries, one-room schoolhouses dating from the 19th century, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through forested gorges. Trails cross the Green Mountains, leading to mountain lakes, abandoned settlements, and farms that have operated for generations. Historic sites include President Calvin Coolidge's birthplace in Plymouth Notch, preserved as a museum village, and Naulakha, Rudyard Kipling's former residence in Dummerston. Several state parks provide views over the Champlain Valley and Lake Champlain. The marble exhibits in Proctor document the region's quarrying history. These locations offer insight into Vermont's industrial past, literary heritage, and rural traditions.
