Great little village with great history! Unfortunately, covid shut down most of the operation but still a nice little stroll through checking this out from the outside.

THE PAST IS A BLAST , a town and homewhich President Calvin Coolidge was born on July 4, shows want a firecracker cheese maker he was in his youth!

Kind of an interesting place. For its historical value the museum doesnt focus much on President coolidges administration and any signature policies he had.It seems to play a greater role on the history of the place he came from. The tour was great.

Beautiful!! The view is breathtaking... The town is cozy, the staff is very friendly. It feels like you are traveling back in time.

On a quiet summer Tuesday, we had the place almost to ourselves. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Some of the museum exhibits are interactive which is cool for both young and old. The pristine little village harkens back to an earlier time in VT. The exhibits in the barn show what farming was like before tractors. I get exhausted just thinking about the rigors of their daily life! A very nice place to spend a couple of hours.

Great fields with beautiful mountain backdrops. Great place to relax!

This was an accidental discovery, and well worth the side trip. Plan about 2 hours to absorb it all. Grounds and artifacts are perfectly kept. Knowledgeable staff are on site for questions and to point out all those wonderful tid-bits and stories.

Wonderfully maintained historic site. Peaceful and quiet. Perfect setting to reflect on our nations history and the time of Calvin Coolidge.

Always interesting to see where our forefathers lived and what their life was like. Beautiful homestead!

Well preserved town of Plymouth Notch. Felt like stepping back in time.

If you enjoy history, definitely make a trip to Plymouth Notch, Vermont where the 30th President was born. We went in the afternoon on Labor Day Monday and it wasnt crowded at all. Give about an hour and a half - two hours to see everything and walk around. There is a 15 min. video at the visitor center that narrates his life and the different buildings. Otherwise there is a 40-45 min guided tour. The admission is about $10 per person and it allows you to enter all the buildings. If you go to the cheese shop there is a small museum upstairs that display the different devices used to process cheese. This can easily be missed because you walk in and see the shop, but might miss the stair case up to see what is up there. They also have cheese samples too. The only building that we didnt get to see was the church and all the woodwork inside. It happened to be closed. The drive to get to Plymouth Notch is scenic with a few small towns along the route. It is a nice day trip if youre looking for something to do.

This place was amazing! Very informative guide about the area and about President Coolidge. Some walking is required so if not the best of fit I would not recommend. Lots of great opportunities to take pictures, and a nice gift shop on site. Cell phone service might not be available.

When we arrived the center was #covidclosed but the grounds were open and we were able to walk around. Really enjoyed the history and the well preserved nature of the site. Will be back when its fully open to take it all in.

Great place to bring school aged children. A village in the heart of Vermont that truly is the soul of Vermont. An educational experience.

Amazing historical site. Take the tour it is well worth it.

We didnt visit the site, just went for a classical concert. The ad read like it would be kid friendly. Decidedly not. Excited girls got asked to leave. They were not 100% quiet (moving feet), but you cant grow appreciation for the arts by making kids and young mothers feel uncomfortable. The grounds were beautiful, and Im curious about the historic site, but will have to come back without my daughter.

Sadly, I can only give 3 stars as this historic gem/tiny village wasnt very tourist-friendly. After you figure out how to get there, there is no directions for parking or where the building for tickets is located. Well, there WAS a sign that pointed in the WRONG direction.But after you figure those things out (best to ask someone working there), it really is quite a charming place, where you feel youre going back in time. Ill have to go return to explore it more now that Ive found those things out and will have more time.

It is always great to walk in the footsteps of history. A great place to see what it was like to live like Calvin Coolidge.

I thought i was going to see just a house where calvin coolidge live but come to my surprise it a tiny village. i was told by the lady behind the desk in the museum that it was around 25 people who lived here. you can even enjoy cheese cake and the cheese cake factory or get a sandwich and ice cream at the wilder house. the tour starts at the Florence cilley general store where of can buy sweets, drinks and gifts. i didnt like the older lady giving the tour. she was a nice person but didnt tell you much. also if you dont like back woods dirt roads make sure your gps is set on on unpaved roads or you will find yourself on some. one way you will need a 4 wheel drive suv so i turned around hit detour on my gps and it took me on some back woods roads a long a stream. i love these kind of roads so it was fun for me but not my passengers.

Interesting buildings, interesting history on him, beautiful area.

Very nice tour of his home and the village. The museum was informative but left out some details about other issues, particularly surrounding race, in the country during the 20s.

Very interesting. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Variety of spots to see.

I am a huge history and nerd and happened to come across this place on a road trip. Needless to say, I was ecstatic and really enjoyed what this place had to offer in honoring our Past President and Nations Historical figure.

Very quaint lots of history about the president, rural life in the 20s and informatuon about vermont

Stunning views and great place to learn about History.

Great teaching tool for the appreciation of history.

A lovely and relaxing site to visit. Interesting, informative, and enjoyable

It wasnt open but it looked interesting and I cant wait to go back. Great location.

Very educational and quaint. It was absolutely stunning. It snowed the say I visited and it was very quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Very easy to get to. Education center was beautiful and volunteers very helpful. A must see if you plan on visiting Vermont.

Definitely go. Highlights: visitor center video, exhibits, and the guided tour of the Coolidge residence!

Great spot to visit lots of history beautiful grounds oh did I mention friendly sheep

Great place to visit and to see what a real American is made of.

Great piece of Presidential history.

Friendly place. Even the goats were amicable

Online it said it was open when we got there it was closed.

Closed during the winter. But you can walk the grounds. Pretty basic, bunch of barns and a cheese store a walking distance from the parking lot.

Beautiful countryside. Friendly guides. Just a pleasant relaxing experience.

Lots to see and learn. One of only 2 gulf gas pumps left is here.

Much more interesting than I first thought it would be. It is however quite remote, but if you are anywhere near you should go. It is also medium good for children.

Great place to visit

The surrounding area is gorgeous! This little village has been well-preserved, very nice and knowledgeable state park guides. Too bad Calvin was such a boring useless president! Or if he and his presidency were more dynamic, this place sure doesnt present that (So in that case I should have given it a lower score!)

A trip back in time! Calling all History Buffs! A must visit! We had such a wonderful time visiting President Calvin Coolidges childhood homestead (actually a small town) last fall. Also known as Calvin Coolidge Homestead District or President Calvin Coolidge State Historical Site. This is also where Coolidge, as the 30th President of the United States, took the presidential oath of office, initially being sworn in by his own father who was a notary upon the death of President Warren G. Harding. Located in Plymouth Notch, Vermont, Coolidge lived there from age four in 1876 to 1887, when he departed for Black River Academy for education. He is buried in Plymouth Notch Cemetery not far from the home. The Homestead District include:A Visitors CenterCoolidge HomesteadFarmers MuseumWilder HouseWilder Horse BarnOld Coolidge Farmhouse/Florence Ciley General Store/Coolidge HallCoolidge Farm ShopPlymouth Cheese Factory (cheese making museum upstairs)One-Room SchoolhouseAzro Johnson HouseUnion Christian ChurchCarrie Brown Coolidge Garden (begun by the Presidents stepmother)Aldrich HouseTop of the Notch Cabins (1927 tourist accommodations)Brown Family FarmhousePlymouth Notch Cemetery

This is a beautiful place to visit.. the ride is very scenic and quite. The museum is fantastic and can transport you back in time. Its nice to see where our Presidents are born

Peaceful off the beaten path. One gets a great understanding of Pres. Coolidge from re friendly docents. His burial plot is nearby.

I have been to over 25 presidential homes, and this was by far my favorite. You get to tour the town President Coolidge grew up in; from the house he was born in, the local cheese dairy, and the small town store where he made the cabinets that are still in use. Full of history and lots to do.

Have visited 3 times with my family (including kids from young up to teenage) and it is one of our favorite historic sites to visit. The general store, the homestead history, the cheese factory. And if you go in the fall, the views of foliage sweeps you back to an earlier time. Highly recommended for any time of year.

Just wow. Historical charm all around. Great nice lady at front desk. Our tour guide was super funny and nice.

More than just a presidential home - its a small village taking us back in time.

Great museum we’ve visited a few times with local history, great artifacts, and a general store with post office. Gives a fantastic picture of the life Calvin Coolidge lived and came from.

Its a trip back in time. Vermont was smart to acquire all of Plymouth Notch to preserve it for future generations. Artifacts are plentiful and belong to the Coolidge family. A must see!

Was very impressed! More of a period town to explore than I expected. Really enjoyed!

A wonderful trip into the past at this former Presidents home, located overlooking a breath taking mountain panorama. Original town buildings with exhibits that shows life at the time. If you are a history buff or want an authentic look into days gone by, this is well worth the money spent.

Lots of interesting Calvin Coolidge history & artifacts. Beautifully maintained

Its a good a place to learn the American history and former president.

Informative, wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend!!

Amazing historical site. President Coolidges home town is beautifully preserved

Very well done, interesting. Excellent staff, guide was knowledgeable and shared some fascinating history. A step back in time.

This place was an absolute gem. For the history buff, the entire tiny town is dedicated to the life of one, particular U.S. president. It is small enough to see in a day - or even half a day - but rich enough that I would certainly visit again. For the buff whose family resents being dragged to historical sites, Plymouth Notch is about the most serene places Ive ever been. Bring a good book and read it, surrounded by rolling, green hills. Or do what we did: pack a picnic lunch, supplement it with some cheese (after you watch them make it), and have a picnic next to Calvins step-mothers flower garden.

Wonderful museum and tribute to one of our more little-known presidents. The more I learned about Calvin Coolidge the more I admired him. Unlike a typical museum, the whole village is preserved as it was in President Coolidges day. It is very enjoyable wandering around the buildings.Dont forget to stop in the cheese shop.

So beautiful and was much more than I expected! The history of this place is just unreal!

Very pleasant day trip. See the past to know today

Paid $10 for the tour. Wasnt disappointed, very informative learning about Calvin Coolidges upbringing and Vermont in its earlier years.

Fascinating small village from a hundred years ago. We could use old Silent Cal these days.

Quaint and peaceful. All original and in time period.

Excellent historical site which includes President Coolidges birth home, home he grew up in, cheese factory his father started, post office his mother ran and much more. The cheese factory is small but makes some of the best local cheeses.

Great Historic place! Well worth the time to visit!

We enjoyed the three hours we spent here. Start your visit at the Visitor Center, which has exhibits on the life and times of President Coolidge and his wife Grace. Its interesting that while the President spent most of his political career in Massachusetts and DC, he held a life-long affinity to Vermont, where he was born and raised.From the Visitor Center, there are a few buildings to visit, all Coolidge-related. Theres the small house where he was born, which is attached to the General Store. Next to it is the church he attended growing up. Across the street is the house where his family moved when he was four and interestingly, where he was sworn in by his father to be President, after the untimely death of President Harding. If you like cheeses, theres a store built by his father in the late 1800s that sells locally produced cheese at reasonable prices.The Presidents gravesite is outside the historic site but is only a short drive away along Lynds Hill Road. Check it out if you have time.

A good insight into the Presidents life and times

Friendly and informative volunteers, lovely place to visit.

Beautiful property full of interesting things and friendly, knowledgeable staff!

Wonderful site. Calvin Coolidge a indeed a man of the people. Not afraid of hard work. Many original structures and furniture items.

Charming g village left exactly as it was in 1923.

Great cheese. Lovely preservation of history.

Real good overall coverage of Silent Cal and his life. All the buildings is good shape. Knowledge staff.

Had a great experience! Learned a lot about our 30th president! Great for all ages. Most of what you see is original to the property. (Shop /gift/cheese prices are very affordable) Dont miss this wonderful stop!!

Will open may 31st. What we saw was nice.

Pretty.

Awesome little place to stop into while exploring Plymouth

Spend the extra 10 minutes and walk to his burial place. Plus a nice variety of history, architecture, and cheese made using a vintage process.

Very informative. Nice set up. Beautiful area

Excellently preserved and presented childhood home of American president Calvin Coolidge, which includes the surrounding neighborhood (general store, school, church, etc.). Easy, free parking. Highly recommended.

Amazing, beautiful and informative historical place! They also have a cafe for very nice lunches.

Loved it

A beautiful and well kept historical site of our 30th presidents homestead. The site is remarkably preserved and full of relaxing views and interesting discoveries about Coolidge and his family. The modern information center contains a wealth of Coolidge artifacts and interactive displays for learning about his presidency. High-quality in every respect, this historical village is well worth a visit.

Beautiful town. Friendly people!

Beautiful location and visitors center. Tour of the little town of Plymoth was great. Enjoyed the visit.

A place for picnic!! Wrap up some sandwiches and water, sit on the gorgeous grounds and enjoy the tranquility.

Cool little gem

Major contribution to Americas growth and prosperity. Great part of American History, Anyone can be President of the USA. $7 with your AAA card

So cool exploring a piece of history....right here in our home state!! Worth the afternoon exploring

It is historic and beautiful.

A great place to go to learn some history very authentic very historical

Its easy to be transported to Calvin Coolidges humble beginnings when you visit. Plymouth Notch has maintained its (very) small town character.

If your in the area, dont miss this site. Very hidden site commemorating our 30th President. Very tasteful that puts you into his era.

Its a quaint little village almost solely dedicated to President Coolidge. If youre a fan of his, then lots to see. We werent but were still suitably impressed by the fall colors and pleasant countryside.

An old Vermont town preserved as Coolidge would remember.

We spent a full morning here. The homestead of Calvin Coolidge. Gift shops, churches, old carriage house. Great history and scenery.

Very interesting.

Truly genuine historic site where children are welcome.

Very well done, friendly and knowledgeable staff
