This painting is displayed in the museum at Plymouth Notch, Vermont. The general store, with Calvin's birthplace in back, is at the left; behind it you can see the steeple of the church he attended; across the street and back is the Coolidge home; the white building nearer the right-hand edge of the picture is the hotel, and the red building is the Coolidge barn. This is how the town looked in the early 20th Century

Makes me wish that I could step into that painting and back in time for a little while...visit with the folks there. : )

Wonderful post. Thank you, and I love the painting.

Up the street from the house was a cheese factory. A few years ago, it was still owned by the Coolidge family and still making cheese, but I don’t think that’s the case today.

Minus the old-timey cars, much of Vermont still looks like that. Unfortunately, most people in Vermont today would consider someone with Silent Cal's beliefs a "dangerous extremist."

Have visited this historic site yrs ago and I think I bought some cheese at a cheese factory in one building.

Woman goes up to Coolidge and said, “Oh Mr President I bet someone that I could get you to say _more_ than two words.”

“You lose.”
